It's likely that you were permitting this host to relay through your Exchange
by adding it to the Relay list in the Properties of your SMTP Virtual in
Exchange. So, it's now likely that the host's IP has changed and you have not
updated your Relay list.
 
Since Exchange disallows Relay by default from 2K onwards, you need to check
the allow list. There are also ways to make your application send
authentication parameters to the Exchange server.

Subject: [ActiveDir] OT: LDAP routing through relay


I sent this question into a friend at Microsoft because it has me completely
stumped.  I thought I'd post it here as well to see if anyone else might have
an idea.
 
I have a problem that should theoretically have been a simple resolution, but
for the life of me I have not been able to figure it out.  I have a server
that is used to host the Intranet for the company, which also serves as a
closed relay to relay mail from an internal application to the Exchange
server.  It is a Windows 2003 server w/ IIS 6.
 
A few months back I configured everything and it has been running fine ever
since, as of yesterday afternoon it suddenly stopped working with no
explanation.  There are no errors logged, the mail is not backing up in the
Exchange queue, the mail just seems to disappear once it is sent from the
relay.  I have tried enabling diagnostic logging on the Exchange server, but
that was a no go.  It doesn't even appear as though the mail is routed to the
Exchange server at all.
 
I have tried manually relaying a message by telnetting to SMTP on the server
(as well as others which I have configured for testing) and all of which are
unable to relay.  I have also tried changing the authentication methods, and
using a different user account (including my own).  
 
The bugger is, I can relay directly through the mail server itself without
any problems but I can't relay to it.
 
I'm about ready to pull out my hair on this one.
 
Thanks in advance!
