Thank you in advance for any input you may have.
I have setup a SMTP connector on our SMTP only server, in order to forward any incoming mail to the "store" server.
On the address space tab, there is a check box "allow messages to be relayed to these domains". I've read that I should not check this box because it will create an open relay, but I actually do want any mail on this SMTP only server, which is destined for the domains listed on this tab, to be relayed to the "store" server.
Relaying is only available to internal IP addresses on both servers.
I currently have this box checked, but need to know if I should uncheck it.
Thanks again.


S.R.
