Re: Relay addresses, storage and export

- This is stored in the msExchSmtpRelayIpList attribute of the SMTP virtual
server instance (object) in AD and is replicated to the IIS Metabase by
DS2MB.
- Not sure what the max limit is, seen folks put almost every IP in the Org
in this list
- Logically, yes, you will see performance issues if this list is huge, but
haven't found any quantitative data as such. Besides the performance issue,
as a best practice, the number of hosts allowed to relay outbound smtp mail
should not be very large - depending on your environment.

Where does it store these and what is the limit of # on relays, and is
there
any performance issue with a lot of listed relay IP's?

You can pipe script/command output (from any script or command that

command-line output) to a file by adding >filename.txt to it.

With ipsec.vbs, the following command should get you the list of hosts
allowed to relay in a txt file called relaylist.txt:
ipsec.vbs -s ExchangeServerName -o e -r relay -d DomainControllerName
>RelayList.txt

I am working on an 2 Exchange 2000 SMTP server, that will eventually be
moved
to 2 exchange 2003 servers, so I am in the process of cleaning up junk
and
there is a large # of addresses in the allowed relay on both servers.
Is
there a way to export these lists into a csv or excel file, and where
does
exchange store these addresses, are they stored in an *.ini or in the
registry, or in some scheme field in AD. I looked at ipsec.vbs, but it
doesn't appear that it will export to a file directly. Any help would
be
appreciated. Thanks.
