ok. first of all, i am not an IT admin (programmer) but because he is performing a network upgrade this week, i'm it.
anyway, our smtp is being relayed off of big time. our web box is seperate from the rest of the network and our email is being handled by an Exchange server.
i HAVE to run smtp on the web server to accomodate asp forms. when i finally found the properties for the default SMTP server, we are allowing relaying ONLY from a few IP's.
my question is (and i THINK this is our problem) that each one of our web sites has its own IP and ALL of those IP's are allowing relaying.
first of all, is this NECESSARY and IS THIS THE CAUSE of the relaying? can i delete these IP's from SMTP relaying without affecting anything and will this SOLVE our relaying problem?
thank you TONS
