iis smtp nntp : SMTP Questions
open relay. I have the POP3 server set up to use Encrypted file passwords. Access: "Anonymous access" and "Integrated auth." options are selected. Relay: "Only in the list" (and I have nothing in the list) and "Allow authenticated users to relay" are selected. There seems to be a great deal of confusion on this topic, and I think it stems from Anonymous access being taken as a type of authentication method, when in reality it is not. So I guess my question is, if I have it set to use Integrated Windows authentication, how is it authenticating users trying to send mail, when I don't have any accounts on the computer for these users... that is, they are just set up using encrypted file access. 2. I want to use Authenticated POP access as the Windows Help file specifies to use when doing Encrypted file access, but I don't see any option to use this anywhere. 3. The web server's Alert e-mails will not send. I get messages in the Badmail directory that the message can't be sent. In the box to set the SMTP server to send from, I have tried 127.0.0.1, the external IP address, the computer name by itself, the computer's FQDN name... and none work.
Yes, POP3 uses SPA. However, SPA is not an option to
select when using Encrypted File. My question was, what credentials are being used by the SMTP server during the authentication process to allow relaying? I have nothing in the Allowed list, and Allow authenticated users to relay is selected, and I can send mail out, so what credentials are being authenticated?

SMTP does not work with Encrypted File, only the POP3 server does. SMTP uses windows accounts. Answer 2: Enable SPA on the server Answer 3: You are probably not allowed to send. You can add the webserver's IP to the list of allowed computers to relay, or send logon credentials. Anonymous Access is an access option. Relay and access is NOT the same thing. Relay is when you send an email, access is to be able to communicate with the SMTP Server. Other SMTP servers must be able to communicate with your server, to send emails to your server, and therefore Anonymous Access is required. Other SMTP servers will however NOT relay using your server, and that is the difference. -- Regards, Kristofer Gafvert - IIS MVP http://www.ilopia.com - When you need help!

I am also getting the Unable to relay for <> error, where
<> is the address of the mailbox I am trying to send to, which is located on an external server. Mail from one
And as i said in my previos email:
"You are probably not allowed to send. You can add the webserver's IP to the list of allowed computers to relay, or send logon credentials" You can send to internal accounts, because that is not relaying. -- Regards, Kristofer Gafvert - IIS MVP http://www.ilopia.com - When you need help!

What should my Outbound options on the Delivery tab look
like? I.e., security, and there is another dialog box I believe.
This is not relevant to your problem. This is what it is written in the Help
file about this tab: "Once a connection has been opened and the receiving server has acknowledged that it is ready to receive data, messages can be transmitted for delivery" You are having problems to relay, as said in the error message. You are not even getting to delivery part, since the email does not even get it to your server. But for the Security, it should be Anonymous, unless you need something else. -- Regards, Kristofer Gafvert - IIS MVP http://www.ilopia.com - When you need help!

Ok, I see what Outbound Security is for now. I thought it
was tellng my server what it needed its users to do to send outgoing mail, but its really for the server its connecting to, in order to send mail to it. So if I want users to authenticate to the SMTP server in order to relay (send an outgoing email to another SMTP server) then I need to use Windows accounts or Active Directory accounts, is this correct? In other words, encrypted file has nothing to do with SMTP as you said, only POP3, meaning that it does not provide username/password authentication in order to relay. This would mean that the Server 2003 Web Edition can't do what I need, since it doesn't let me set up Active Directory

Right, but the only reason local windows accounts won't
work for me is because I need to use the same mailbox name across multiple domains. I think I got it now. Thanks Kristofer, you've been so
