Very Computer

Goal: Configure Exchange 5.5 SP2 to only allow E-mail to and from my users,
and disallow any mail to be forwarded via my server (as a relay point) to
other domains.

2ND Goal:  Does anyone know how to filter the logs to find if the server is
routing mail to other domains?

With SP2 you can configuring relay restrictions within the Internet Mail
Service.  But the options are confusing and do not appear to address my goal
(see Option Description).

Option

Hosts and clients that successfully authenticate -- Messages sent from hosts
and clients with valid logon information are relayed (BUT HOW DOES THIS
AFFECT INCOMING MAIL?).

Hosts and clients with these IP addresses -- Messages sent from the
specified IP addresses are relayed (WHO WANTS TO SPECIFY IP ADDRESS'S??).

Hosts and clients with these internal addresses -- Messages sent by hosts
and clients that connect to the specified IP address on the Microsoft
Exchange Server computer are relayed.Allows multi-homed servers to restrict
relaying based on the IP address to which the client connects. If you choose
this option, you must disable IP forwarding on the Networking property pages
in Control Panel.

If you are not relaying for other internal servers then this is the
choice you want.  If a message is received & is to be delivered
locally, it is not effected by this rule since it's not to be relayed.

It's easier for me to configure this setting, since we support other
organizations on our network from untrusted NT domains, UNIX
platforms, etc.  Just an example of why someone may choose this
option.

exchange server 5.5 SP2.

What does SP2 add on routing restrictions that SP1 doesn't have? will
there be a SP3 that is predefined to stop spam and easier to configure
and test?

I have a network with dial-in connections and I have selected "hosts
and clients that successfully authenticate" (for the dial-in
connection) and "Hosts and clients with these IP-adresses" and my
network adresses.

The clients can't mail to outside servers like hotmail.com. They get
the error message:
"Det finns ingen tillg?nglig ?verf?ringstj?nst f?r leverans till den
h?r mottagaren." - There is no availible delivery service for
delivering to this receiver.

What have I forgotten?

Nothing.

Yes.

SP3 won't alter any of the settings.

Quote:>and easier to configure

No, there are no changes. But what's so difficult about configuring
the reoutng restrictions now?

Remove the IP address restrictions. They're not adding much, if
anything, to the rstrictions.

This is a client problem, not a server problem. I don't believe the
routing restrictions have anything to do with your problem, unless
your clients cannot authenticate with the SMTP server.

What services are present in the MAPI client profiles? Are they using
the Internet Mail service or the Microsoft Exchange Server service?
