IIS - SMTP Relay forwarding mail to a specific outboung mail gatew
Posted by tdumalski@myalias.postalias on March 28th, 2005


Hello.

I have configured the SMTP Relay service in IIS to be a relay between our
gateway exchange server and our internal exchange server,inbound. Gateway to
internal. I have configured it to to relay email to a specific domain , and
is working well. It is my understanding, that to be able to utilize this
service to send outbound mail, internal server to external gateway, that it
must be the gateway, and must be able to resolve the MX records.

Is it possible to configure the SMTP relay service to forward mail to the
gateway, instead of it been the gateway.

Essentially I want the SMTP Relay service to provide: gateway - Relay -
Internal, as well as Internal - Relay- Gateway.

Is this possible, or do I require MS Exchange for this realy instead of the
SMTP Relay service. I would prefer the SMTP relay service as opposed to MS
Exchange.

Thanks,

configure smart host. this will instruct IIS SMTP to forward all mails to a
specific host.
as for relay - make sure clients are authenticated or allowed to relay -
