Relay help

Post by adean »

Whenever I uncheck "allow relay for priviledged IP addresses" in the smtp relay properties, my users are unable to send mail from Hotmail, MSN, Yahoo etc to my email server.

Obviously I want to close this relay asap, but am unable to find a way to properly set this up.

What am I doing incorrectly?

You need to tell your users to configure their mail clients to use SMTP authentication so that they authenticate in order to send mail. In outlook the setting is known as "My Outgoing Mail Server Requires Authentication".

You need also to configure MailEnable to allow relay for authenticated senders.
