OWA SSL with MS CRM Software

[nohamsters]

I am using Exchange 2003 on Windows 2003. I have installed a SSL cert for OWA on the Exchange Server and everything is working fine with OWA, but our Microsoft Customer Relations Management software uses http port 80 to send the mail to our Exchange Server. Is there a way to open this port on the Exchange Server and then make it open only to our CRM Server. Thanks for any help in advance.

Port 80 is the internet. Why does CRM try to send mail via the internet?

CRM is goofy that way. It installs a service the uses port 80. We overcame this pitfall by opening it up and controling access at the firewall instead. However, you may be able to do the via IIS access lists as well, but it would be more work.
