To expand on Curt's suggestion (which is a very good one), add your local network IP (192.168.#.#), the external IP the machine has (if any) and localhost (127.0.0.1) to the "Only the list below" box.
If you have to add any other machines in your network to relay mail through this server, try to only add their internal IP's, and relay the mail internally. Not only will you get better performance (speeds across an internal network are generally faster than having to be routed over the internet), but you'll have a better chance of making sure that those that are attempting to connect to your mail server are who they say they are. -Mike -----Original Message----- From: Curt Zirzow [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Sunday, August 10, 2003 11:50 PM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Re: [PHP] Mail * Thus wrote Sean ([EMAIL PROTECTED]): > Got it if anyone else has trouble. > In the IIS SMTP properties go to the Access Tab. > Click the Relay button at the bottom and change the selection from > "Only the list below" to "All except the list below" I have no idea if > this is a security risk it works that's all I care about for now. Um, if I read that right you just set your mail server as an open relay. This is bad. I would strongly encourge you to put it back on 'Only the list below' and add your own hostname to the list instead.
