iis smtp nntp:
Do you have IIS running as "external SMTP gateway", while your real
server is somewhere inside your organization? Do you want your IIS to be
able to verify recipients on the other server? Well, now you can.

RcptProxy is so called SMTP event sink, ie. "plugin" into IIS SMTP
service. In order for IIS to run it, it has to be configured (eg.
registered) in the metabase. Before you run register.vbs, read the whole
message and readme.txt that is available with RcptProxy .

You can grab it from here, together with source code (licensed under
Common Public License):

It's early version, but IS stable and will not blow up your IIS - unless
you put your server in infinite loop (ie. proxy each "RCPT TO:" to the
same server where sink is installed). Yes, 127.0.0.1 (that is in
register.vbs) WILL blow up your IIS (or Exchange) and you MUST change it.

After sink has been registered, it will be run by IIS SMTP service
to verify each incoming "RCPT TO" command. This verification is
performed by some other SMTP service (somewhere inside your
organization). Main task of RcptProxy is to pass each RCPT TO command
received by server where it's installed to the other server, read its
reply and then act accordingly - allow RCPT TO or reject it, optionally
also disconnecting client that sent it. If verification cannot be
completed (eg. SMTP server performing verification is unavailable, very
busy, response is slow etc.) RCPT TO will be accepted.

RcptProxy is designed to be used with SMTP service built into IIS
(Internet Information Services) versions 5 (Windows 2000), 5.1 (Windows
XP Professional) and 6.0 (Windows Server 2003). This sink could be
possibly used also with Exchange Server 2000 and Exchange Server 2003,
but has not been tested (yet) in this environment.

Remember to update destination IP address in register.vbs before running
it!!! If you use the same IP as server where RcptProxy is installed or
127.0.0.1, it will put your server in invinite loop. You do not want it!

You could also download aloaha (www.aloaha.com/download/aloaha.zip)
Its a real transparent SMTP Proxy which has lots of features which start at
simple IP, domain, rcpt to, mail from checks up to SPF and SenderID checks.
It includes even a freeware POP3 Connector.
Thanks
