First update from v1.7 to a v1.8.x SIMS. You should be able to find it on the Stalker FTP site. I have been using 1.8b8 for well over a year now and it is stable.
The v1.8 versions allow for multiple RBLs and a relatively simple way to determine what return codes from the RBLs you wish to use. In the SMTP controls, check the "Use Blacklist DNS Server(s)" box. In the RBL server list area enter your desired RBLs with a comment field to be returned to the sender if the RBL triggers. A sample RBL entry may look like: relays.osirusoft.com "Please see http://relays.osirusoft.com/"; korea.services.net "Please see http://korea.services.net/"; Now in the "Blacklisted Hosts" enter the return codes that you want to use from the RBLs. A sample list might be: 127.0.0.2 ; orisoft verified open relay 127.0.0.3 ; orisoft dialup line Since you are not having any local user accounts and you are always relaying mail to your Exchange server, leave the "relay for clients only" unchecked. If I understand what you need, this should pretty much be all you need to set things up. Note: I only use the web interface for administration, so I don't know if the check boxes and other entry fields are marked the same if you use Communigator.
