San to email ( xerox phaser 6180MFP scanner )?

[telecotek1]

Not sure why i cant get this scanner to synch with the default recieve connector. i don't want the users to be able to scan and send externally. i can create a new recieve connector if required but i thought it wasn't required.

I think my issue might be the type of authentication that I'm using. here's what the options are;

SMTP AUTH Plain
SMTP AUTH Login
SMTP AUTH CRAM-MD5
SMTP AUTH Auto


Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Don't use the default receive connector. Any connector related changes in Exchange should be on dedicated connectors.

Thanks 58sniper..

Read that too. This section thru me off tho

"Do you really need to allow relaying?
Before you setup unauthenticated relaying, it's important to understand the need for relaying. If your application server or devices like copiers need to send mail only to internal recipients - mail for which Exchange has an AcceptedDomain (or a Recipient Policy in Exchange Server 2003/2000) and therefore will receive inbound mail for - it is not considered relaying. The application server or device should be able to do this without any configuration on Exchange."

My problem may be a bug in the scanner tho. For some reason DNS doesn't seem to be working. I cant ping the host name of the machine. The machine shows the DNS status as "Unkown" So "AcceptedDomain" doesn't apply if the scanner isn't recognised by the domain.

Xerox support wasn't very helpful.
