1.
I haven't looked at their phone bill, but it seems like residential
grade service at their business address. I agree a static IP would be
ideal, and that's probably what we'll end up doing, set them up the
right way. This client is "on a budget" but so is everybody, right?
2.
I thought No IP was in fact a Dynamic DNS service. Maybe I'm wrong
there. The reason for the second connector is that I didn't want the
smarthost to dictate the maximum recipients figure, which is I believe
around 30 at the present. That's when they send from Outlook directly
to the ISP SMTP server.
I used their original username/password in attempting the smarthost
connector. The SBC mail server allows us to login as
"company@xxxxxxxxxxxxx" and send e-mails as "user@xxxxxxxxxxx", and I
was trying to extend that functionality to the connector.

1. Moving to a static IP. Would I be correct in assuming you are using SBC's residential DSL service for your SBS network?? If thats the case are you aware that you are probably in violation of their terms of service? Most Cable/DSL providers specifically prohibit running email and webservers on their networks.
2. Look at a true Dynamic DNS solution. TZO.org or DynDNS.org. That way you can have the correct DNS records
Without seeing the specific's of your setup, There may be issues with the second connector or the first and second may not be interacting correctly...not sure.
Why not send everything through one connector?
Are you trying to use multiple user names and passwords for the smarthost?

Thanks for your reply, Cris.
The dynamic IP address prevents us from using PTR and SPF records.
Unless there is a 3rd party solution to this. We did use a 3rd party
(No IP) that resolves a generic company.no-ip.com host name to the
public IP address, and then we have a CNAME/alias that resolves
internal.company.com to company.no-ip.com. This makes RWW available
consistently, which is great.
About the smarthost, yes I used their username@xxxxxxxxxxxxx and
password via basic authentication. I re-entered that several times,
thinking I must have mistyped the password. The same logon works in
Outlook, with standard port 25 and no SPA/TLS.
