Controlling SMTP Relaying with Microsoft Exchange

About the White Paper:
If you've ever received unwanted spam in your mailbox, then you already know what relaying is: using a server to accept and then resend mail to recipients on another server. In the simplest case, alice@a.com connects to the SMTP server at b.com and uses it to deliver a message to charlie@c.com. Note that this isn't the same as when Alice uses her own organization's SMTP server. A more practical example: say you're on the road with your laptop. You'll probably have a dial-up (or maybe broadband) connection that will assign you an IP address outside your normal network block. If your SMTP server accepts messages from you for delivery to third parties (e.g. addressees not on your own mail server), that's relaying; a server that has relaying turned on will accept mail for recipients in other domains, then attempt to redeliver it. |
