iis smtp nntp : Domain Literal

Is their a way in SMTP Virtual Server to have it accept mail for a literal
domain. Is it just a matter of setting up an alias server with the ip
address or is it more involved?

This is a SMTP Virtual Server with a default domain mail.domain.com and a
remote domain domain.com. The default is more a bogus domain. If something
gets mailed to it, it just sits in its folder awaiting deletion. The remote
domain smarthosts all messages to my local SBS box.

I know I need to do an exchange fix for these to be accepted locally. But
at the moment, the external forwarding server is rejecting these emails as
relayed email.

Any thoughts?

No one? Anyone? As far as I know, this is an RFC directive. I can't
imagine that microsoft left out this ability.

TIA,

John

I acutally just figured out how to do this. There was another thread
that put me on the right track here:
http://groups-beta.google.com/group/microsoft.public.inetserver.iis.smtp_nntp/browse_thread/thread/e426977face1584a/204d13bcbeece308

However the syntax was a bit confusing, here are the corrected commands
that u can use.
This script is located at c:\inetpub\adminscripts\adsutil.vbs. Execute
using cscript.exe.

Replace [x.x.x.x] with the the IP address of your mail server in
brackets. I also set the RouteActionString property to the ip address
of my internal mail server (Smart Host) in brackets. That way the SMTP
service forwards correctly.

adsutil create smtpsvc/1/Domain/[x.x.x.x]/ "IIsSmtpDomain"
adsutil set smtpsvc/1/Domain/[x.x.x.x]/RouteAction 4098
adsutil set smtpsvc/1/Domain/[x.x.x.x]/RouteActionString ""
adsutil set smtpsvc/1/Domain/[x.x.x.x]/RouteUserName ""
adsutil set smtpsvc/1/Domain/[x.x.x.x]/RoutePassword ""
adsutil set smtpsvc/1/Domain/[x.x.x.x]/AuthTurnList ""

You can also use MetaEdit 2.2 to look at the Metabase and you will find
the entries for your existing domains. You can also create the
appropriate keys and values with it. Hope this helps.
