Nobody knows ?? Can anyone tell me what is a mail relay for ?? ------------------------------ In a typical mail flow, a source mail client sends message to its mail server. This mai server then directs the message to its nearest mail relay, then to next mail relay, then to the next-next ... until the message reaches the mail server at the other end to be delivered to the destination mail client. ----------------------------------
I know it is not a Cisco issue, but for me it is related to the fact that I am only studying cisco stuff and therefore do not know anything about those kind of Microsoft things. ------------------------------- Actually it's not Microsoft or whatever thing, but should be called SMTP thing. However, the majority of mail relay boxes out there implement their relay job running sendmail, an integrated GNU software found in every Unix machine including Linux of course. Maintaining sendmail is challenging, but very rewarding. You can start by reading DNS & BIND and Sendmail of O'Reilly, then jumping to Sendmail Theory & Practice of someone I don't recall the name right now. ----------------------------- Hope it helps little bit.
