iis smtp nntp : Configuring IIS SMTP

Hi;

I want to set up the IIS SMTP server so it sends mail that my ASP app
running on IIS generates. So it:

Should not receive email.

Should not accept email from any other machine (localhost only).

How should I configure it? I am worried I will not set something and
my system will become a spambot.

??? - thanks - dave

Virtual Server-Properties-Access-Connection control-Connection-Only
the list below-127.0.0.1

Virtual Server-Properties-Access-Relay restrictions-Relay-Only the
list below-127.0.0.1

However, the primary level of protection from the outside must be your
firewall. The above setting should never be processed for any
connections from the outside, since they should never enter your
network.

Hello;

What do you mean by the list below 127.0.0.1?

thanks - dave

127.0.0.1 is the IP address for localhost.

Hi;

I am aware of that - I was wondering what he meant by "below
127.0.0.1". Although now that I read it again, maybe he meant

the list below:
127.0.0.1

thanks - dave

Thanks. Once I re-read it the other way it made a lot of sense. Just
to be safe I put 2 IP addresses, localhost and the systems static IP
address.

thanks - dave

Yep, just pointing you to the place in the GUI where it says,
verbatim, "Only the list below."
