Re: Exchange smarthost for SBC ADSL users

Tech-Archive recommends: Speed Up your PC by fixing your registry

what prevents you from creating the PTR/Reverse DNS and SPF records

Are you saying that SBC Global is the smart host? Are you supplying the user name and password for the account being used to send mail out?

The SMTP server in question is the one used in Outlook, in order to get
outgoing mail from the sender to the recipient.

This same server, when entered as a smart host, does not forward mail
to its recipient. It appears to blackhole every e-mail, as the messages
leave the Outlook client and wind up in Sent Items. They also appear to
leave the Exchange server, as they can't be found in the Message
Tracking Center in ESM. However, no matter what the domain, they are
not delivered to the external recipient. No Non-Delivery Report is seen
by the sender.

Has anyone made the smarthost work on SBC? Routing via DNS works for
some domains, but since we can't implemenet a PTR record, they are
bound to have problems with AOL and comcast addresses. Not to mention
sbcglobal.
