    SMTP Relay from IIS SMTP Virtual Server

    I have a W2K3 Server we are setting up to run a Windows Service for a client
    at their location.

    I don't want this machine to go through exchange or their local mail server,
    I just want the Server to send out a message from the SMTP Virtual Server to
    me (in a different company) to tell me that some exception has happened in
    our service. The problem is that it creates an error about a relay:

    Exception Type: System.Net.Mail .SmtpFailedReci pientException
    FailedRecipient : <tomS@pd.com>
    StatusCode: MailboxUnavaila ble
    Message: Mailbox unavailable. The server response was: 5.7.1 Unable to relay
    for tomS@pd.com
    Data: System.Collecti ons.ListDiction aryInternal
    TargetSite: System.Net.Mail .MailWriter SendMail(System .Net.Mail.MailA ddress,
    System.Net.Mail .MailAddressCol lection, System.String,
    System.Net.Mail .SmtpFailedReci pientException ByRef)
    HelpLink: NULL
    Source: System


    There is no mailbox here, just the virtual server.

    The way I can make it work is to go into the properties for the SMTP Virtual
    Server and go to Access/Relay and add 127.0.0.1 to only allow relay from
    only this machine.

    Is this the proper way to do it?

    Thanks,

    Tom

      Re: SMTP Relay from IIS SMTP Virtual Server

      the smtp virtual needs some valid smtp server it can relay thru.
      generally the smtp server will require a login (which you can configure
      the virtual server to supply).

      I assume you are planning on using your smtp server, talk to your
      network people and get the port number and login the virtual server will
      need. then configure the client virtual relay to use these settings.

      the client may need to configure their firewall to allow smtp out from
      the virtual server.
