1. SMTP Virtual Server: Forward all outgoing messages to SMTP server

Is it me, or was this a lot easier in Exchange 5.5???

I'm trying to get all outbound messages to attempt direct delivery, and if
that fails, to use an SMTP server at our provider. I was able to set it up
using the CONNECTORS | INTERNETMAIL Properties, and setting the "Forward all
mail through this connector to the following smart hosts" radio button on
the "General" tab. This option however doesn't offer any option to set the
user ID and password for the server we want to forward through (required by
our provider), nor does it offer the option to attempt direct delivery
first. I checked the help for here, and found that "This value overrides the
smart host setting on the Delivery tab of the SMTP virtual server
properties". This property page does have an "Outbound Security" setting and
a check box to attempt direct delivery first, but I ccan NOT get the
forwarding to work form this angle. I go into the advanced delivery
settings, set the smart host to the same thing I had it set on the
'connectors' properties and the messages still try to go to the destination
domain direcly. Am I missing something here?
