Re: IIS 6.0 SMTP - Is ot possible to specify a return address on NDR?



I have a number of SMTP VSs that each have unique local domain
names. These are used as platforms for anti-virus and anti-spam
programs. When an NDR is generated, it reflects the sender as being
from the local domain, e.g. postmaster@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx -
which means that it may be refused delivery since the sending domain
cannot be validated.

Is there any way to cause these to be addressed with my real domain
name - such as postmaster@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx, regardless of which VS
creates it;

You should change the name of each domain to a publicly valid domain.
'F2' does a great job. :)

Using the GUI, you won't be able to set the Postmaster domain to be
the same as a remote domain. This is probably just as well. I would
recommend that these hosts be given a better identifier (hostname), so
that you can trace instantly which hop gen'd a DSN. Note that you
_can_ use the same domain across all the VSs, as long as it is not a
remote domain (with mailboxes located off-box).

Alternately, you can set the Postmaster domain to be the same as a
remote domain by editing the metabase. I would not recommend this,
though, because IMO creates an overly generic setup.
