Why would you want to run SMTP services on your DSL connection?

To send emails via some applications located on server (vb, asp, sql server

SP, whatever...)

You need to set the relay and authentication settings. Make sure to

only allow anonymous relays from 127.0.0.1

 

Just remember that if you only have a dynamic IP address that you won't

be able to reach many recipients since your reverse DNS checks will

fail. You can't have a valid PTR record set on a dynamic IP. Consider

getting a static IP address if available...

Re: SMTP server?

 

My IP is static.

 

Where do I set relay and authentication settings? IIS?

 

Thank you!

To set which IP addresses are permitted to relay through the Exchange Server

installation do the following:

 

1) Open the Exchange System Manager application.

 

2) Drill down to Administrative Groups, then into 'Servers', then into your

particular server name.

 

3) Within your server name, drill into 'Protocols', then into 'SMTP'.

 

4) Next, drill into 'Default SMTP Virtual Server'

 

5) Right-click the 'Default SMTP Virtual Server' and choose 'Properties'.

 

6) Choose the 'Access' tab at the top of the dialog, then click the

'Relay...' button at the bottom.

 

7) What I then do is choose 'Only the list below', then enter the IP

addresses of any machines which I want to be able to relay through the

Exchange Server. Next, I check the 'Allow all computers which successfully

authenticate to relay, regardless of the list above'.

 

8) That should be it for relay.

 

As a practical example, I have a Ubuntu Linux box set up as a Virtual

Machine (using VMWare Workstation on my Windows XP PC). I wanted the Linux

box (running as a VM) to use Postfix to relay through our Exchange Server. I

simply add the IP of the virtual Linux box into the relay table (described

to you above) and it works fine.
