RE: Relaying problem
When you say remote, how are they remote? Are they simply at another site and using internal routing or are they using a VPN to get in across the Internet? AFAIK there are 2 options (the gurus may be able to suggest others). One is to use OWA and do away with Outlook Express ( which is a good thing as you never know what is going to be broken as new versions come out) or if you know what ip addresses these users have you can allow relaying specifically for those addresses (at least I think you can I haven't actually done this myself) . I would suggest that if you do the second that you enforce authentication for clients before allowing relaying. -Original Message- From: Greg Kerr [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Thursday, 3 January 2002 13:39 To: MS-Exchange Admin Issues Subject: Relaying problem Hi I appear to be having a problem with some remote users attaching to my exchange server using Outlook Express.

If you open the SMTP server properties, Access tab and click relay restrictions, then check the "Allow all computers which successfully authenticate ... bla, bla, bla ... then in Outlook/ Oexpress you can indicate that the mail client MUST authenticate to send via the server .. you should be ok... works for me...

Re: Relaying problem
The office is about 1200 kilometers away in Sydney and they are accessing mail via an internet connection. Currently the office in Sydney is using one dialup line to a local ISP for all internet activities. They are about to move in 2 weeks to new offices at which time we are going to have an ISDN connection between the 2 offices. OWA is certainly a possibility but due to the number of users trying to access the internet from this site it is unreliable at best. Thanks for the suggestions anyway. Regards...

That should work for your unknown IP connection type Greg. Unfortunately, it requires user interaction.

RE: Relaying problem
You could use a VPN and do it. That's what we are forced to do for our Goldmine users since its mail client is pathetic. But in Outlook/Outlook Express we just have them check the box that says "My server requires authentication" under the "Outgoing Mail Server" for POP3/IMAP email. -Original Message- From: Greg Kerr [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Thursday, January 03, 2002 2:20 AM To: MS-Exchange Admin Issues Subject: Re: Relaying problem Hi Jennifer Unfortunately this is not possible as they are entering the system from the internet and a demand dial connection. ie. the IP Address is not a constant.
