Hi John,
Thanks for your reply.
I am glad to know the informaton is helpful. I'd like to make a summary for
this post:
Q: When I run the CEICW to configure e-mail, you can see two options, "Use
DNS to route e-mail" and "Forward all e-mail to e-mail server at your ISP".
Which is the better option?
A: Generally speaking, when you don't have Static IP address, A and PTR
record for your domain, you can choose smart host to route your e-mail. The
sent e-mails are controlled by the smart host and you can use less time to
maintain the Exchange server.
If you have Static IP address, A, PTR, MX record, you can use DNS to route
e-mail. It's more safer than smart host.
Q: When I use smart host to route e-mail, the recipient will see the smart
host infromaton in Internet header, will this cause negative effect?
A: If you route e-mails to smart host, you will see the smart host
information in Internet Header, this is expected behave. The Internet
Header will recorder the servers it passes, your mail server is recorded
too. In fact, we seldom check the Internet Header. Even when using smart
host, we can find from Internet Header that e-mail is send from SBS server,
not from smart host.
I'd like to give you more information for your reference:

<<Hi John,
<<
<<If your ISP is routing your outbound mail then there should be no
problems

<refuse
<<your mail. Also, have you got a static IP as AOL will refuse mail from
<<dynamic IP's.
