SmartHost and Outgoing Authentication
If you are setting up your SBS 2003 Exchange to send your outgoing email through your ISP, you need to set up your SMTP connector for using Smarthost. Also, many ISP's now require outgoing verification. Here's how to do it:
1. Open up Server Mgmt, click on Advanced Mgmt > Exchange > Connectors
2. Right click on SmallBusiness SMTP Connector, and click on Properties
3. Click to enable the option: 'Forward all mail through this connector to the following smart hosts'
4. In the field below, you can enter either an IP address or your ISP's outgoing SMPT server name
- If entering an IP address, you must include the square brackets. Example: [12.33.44.1]
- An example of an ISP's SMTP name is Verizon's, which is: outgoing.verizon.net
5. Next, click on the Advanced button, then click on Outbound Security
6. Click ti enable basic authentication, then click Modify, and enter the username and password you received from your ISP for sending mail through them.
