Hello I have a single domain pointed at my 2003 Web Edition server... I had some simple questions maybe you could help me with...

I have SMTP which allows anonymous connections so that any mail server can connect and deliver mail into our pop mail boxes. I have relaying off except for users who authenticate. The one inconvience I have run into is that you have to supply the full email address for a user name in order to recieve your pop mail but in order for users to send mail through smtp to others domains they must authenticate, using only the beginning portion of their email address (the local windows account). Is there any way to sync the two logins to avoid confusion? or is this just how things work in IIS6...

example:
POP uses
brian@test.com / password
to retrieve mail

SMTP needs just
brian / password
in order to relay mail for the user

Thanks for your assistance,

Brian
