You're in the
iis smtp nntp
group:Configuring outbound IP for SMTP service
iis smtp nntp:
using the default IP address on the NIC card as the IP seen by the receiving mail server. How can I change this? For example my server has multiple IPs defined. The default NIC is x.x.x.10. So when email servers receive email sent by my server it shows this: Received: from outgoing.mydomain.com ([x.x.x.10]) However, I want it to show a different IP defined on that server, like this: Received: from outgoing.mydomain.com ([x.x.x.25]) I have the IP for the virtual smtp service set to use .25 but it doesn't matter - the headers when seen by incoming mail servers show x.x.x.10.This creates a problem because of spam checks and RDNS. For instance x.x.x.10 resolves to www.mydomain.com. So when mail servers look up RDNS for x.x.x.10 they get www.mydomain.com insetad of outgoing.mydomain.com. This can cause spam checks to fail.I configured the SMTP service to use outgoing.mydomain.com as the outbound mail server name, which is being transmitted properly. Its just that I want it to use the .25 IP instead of .10.How can this be configured? I've used other 3rd party mail server software and they provide a setting that can be used to have the mail server report whatever NIC on the machine you want it to use. Does the MS SMTP service provide this flexibility? p.s. I though that the SMTP service was defaulting to the primary configured IP on the box. However recently I rebooted and now its using a different IP on the box (seemingly random)... Thanks! Mike
In the SMTP Properties dialog, on the General tab, set your IP address.

Sorry but I thought I mentioned this in my original post - I have tried
changing the IP on that Properties General tab. However it has NO affect whatsoever on the outbound IP address it sends in the headers. Any ideas?

Do you have a smart host IP address set?

Thanks for the help. Yes. The IP of the smart host does show up in the
header as part of the chain of servers the message was rounted from. However the orignating mail server's IP is still in that chain and causing problems because its fixed on one IP and I need it to use another. Also I tried not haivng it use the smart host and it still causes the unwanted IP to be listed as the IP of the mail server instead of another IP on the box I want it to use. Any suggestions?

Can you switch the order of the IPs on the NIC card?
