Tell him that allowing relaying will open you up to be a SPAM capital, and will likely land you on some of the blacklists - means that anyone who subscribes to them will not send you mail. I don't recall if you can open up relaying for only one person, but my feeling was no, especially since it would be someone connecting to an ISP. 2 solutions that I could see to the question your boss is asking. 1. Implement a VPN - assuming your colleague works with you, he can access your network and send/receive mail normally. 2. Setup secure (SSL) OWA. Same as above, but it will allow your colleague to connect to Outlook from any connection. Don't open up relaying. You'll be opening a whole new can of worms if you do.

I like your comments. I wish I knew the answers to your ISP question. However, all I know is my boss wants me to figure out a way to achieve this. I am really not in a position to question him, unless I find reason that this is a bad idea. I would like to provide him a solution as well as pit falls to the solution. Thanks Ben -----Original Message----- From: Benjamin Winzenz [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Monday, November 19, 2001 10:53 AM To: Exchange Discussions Subject: RE: Email Forwarder If I read this right, he is asking you to allow him to send mail using your server, while he is dialed up to his ISP. Did I get that right? Confirm or correct me, and I and others can comment. If I am correct, he is asking you to allow him to relay. BAD Idea. What kind of ISP restricts individuals from sending mail out? Has he done something to earn that restriction?

I have a colleague that wishes to send out mail. His ISP however, is restricting him from sending mail out. He wants to know if he can send mail out from our email server, I guess sort of be a forwarder for him. Is this at all possible? If it is how can I actually do that? Or do I have to create an account for him and have him use pop3 settings etc.? Thank you all in advance for you much appreciated knowledge and feed back. BTW I have an exchange 5.5 sp4 server on NT 4.0 sp6a.
