Exchange 2000 SMTP Server Question

Is there no way to close the open SMTP relay on Exchange 2000 Servers? Right now my answer is yes, but I wanted to confirm it with some of the more knowledgeable fellows about this forum. It seems that no matter what settings I use on the SMTP Virtual Server on our Exchange server, it remains an open relay.

Right now I have a smart host set up, waiting to be used. I'm going to take the Exchange 2000 server off of the internet and use the smart host to relay e-mails to and from the Exchange server. Is this the only way?

Thanks in advance.

Nevermind, case of the ambiguous check box.

Thanks anyway.
