I have an exchange 2000 server at home that I use to practice with. Since I am using a residential ISP a lot of the email I send gets blocked at the recipients gateways because they use a service that lists me as a residential IP.
I have done some research and found some information on smart hosts. I have tried to configure my server to use the smart host and provided my credentials that I use for my ISP's smtp server. However, when I send email I get no errors from the SMTP server but after a while I get and NDR. It appears that the messages get queue, but it can't send it out to this server. I tried a couple online email services and they had similar problems. Does anyone know of an ISP or email provider with a SMTP gateway that will accept the smart host connections from my Exchange server. This way my outbound email won't get blocked? Also is there a better way of forwarding mail out through an ISP. My server is Windows 2000 SP2 Running Exchange 2000 SP2 Thanks for any help. -Rick .+--xm ,)r(\ٖy'iǡ)l+-rrʸWZ{fץjx b{.n+j)mWrl&!jx.+-i٢Xf{0y
