Internet Mail Setup -- SMTP Virtual Servers / SMTP Connector

Internet Mail Setup -- SMTP Virtual Servers / SMTP Connector

Post by E2K_91 » Thu, 30 Aug 2001 22:59:33



I would like someone to clear something up for me....
When I setup client's E2K servers, I have them use the Defauly Virtual
SMTP server, configure the recpieint policy to reflect the registered
domain, and then BAM its finished and working 100%.

Now I found this article:
http://www.microsoft.com/exchange/techinfo/deployment/2000/E2KInterne...

My understanding of the SMTP connector was for connecting to other
SMTP server directly, like another E2K in a different Org.

Is this article for making it more sercure ?!

Thanks,
JR

It doesn't just make it more secure, it also gives you more flexibility.

Also the SMTP VS is basically a protocol stack, not a connector.

It also requires the machine to be multi-homed, which is not an asset.

1. SMTP Connector with SMTP Virtual Server with different SMTP port does not work

I have a Backend FrontEnd Exchange environment and the FrontEnd Server is
going to be used as a bridgehead server for SMTP.

To use the FrontEnd as a SMTP bridgehead server I configured a SMTP
Connector that uses the FrontEnd SMTP Virtual Server as a bridgehead server.
Since I'm also running Trend Micro Virus Wall on the SMTP Frontend Server I
changed the SMTP port used by SMTP Virtual Server to 6000 ( I only have one
Network adapter ). So, the final configuration that I have is:

- Exchange 2000 SMTP Virtual Server working on port 6000
- TrendMicro Virus Wall working on port 25

With this configuration when I send an email to the internet the SMTP
Connector always sends ther mail to the port 25 instead of using the
Frontend SMTP Virtual Server port 6000. Is this the normal behavor or a bug?

Is this is the normal behavor why should we configure the SMTP Connector to
use a specific SMTP Virtual Server as a bridgehead server?

Thanks in advance for your help!

Regards,

Alexandre Costa
