Re: Allowing Mail from an appliance &/or other Mail server

If you want to continue receiving internet mail on that SMTP virtual server,
you have to allow anonymous.

If you want only authenticated (and perhaps even encrypted) SMTP
connections, but still want to continue receiving normal internet mail, you
should create a separate SMTP virtual for the authenticated connections.
This is typically done when you have either remote users who need SMTP
relaying capability (remote POP3/IMAP4 users), or when setting up secure
SMTP connections to exchange mail with partners or within business units.

So there is no way to lock down the annonymous? All or nothing?

SMTP virtual servers are configured to accept anonymous connections by
default - else they wouldn't be able to receive any internet mail.

If you also want that IP to be able to relay, you will need to add its ip
address to list of hosts allowed to relay (smtp vs properties | access |
relay).

How can I tell Exchange 2003 Enterprise Server to accept mail from a
specific
ip address without having to turn on allow annonymous on the SMTP
virtual
connector? Obviously I do not want to leave the annonymous on and want
to
be
able to tell Exchange to accept mail from a specific source (by IP.) We
have
an external email server and want to forward the email to the Exchange
Server
- users will have the same email address on both servers. Any help
appreciated.
