Joseph,

I'm not sure how to do this for SharePoint. I would ask in the TechNet SharePoint forum:
http://social.technet.microsoft.com/Forums/en/cat...

Generally, you can either do one of two things:
1. Allow SharePoint to relay
2. Configure a Mailbox for SharePoint and conifgure SharePoint to use this account to send mail so you don't have to allow relay.

Sorry for the double – both of these servers are local on the same machine — I have Exchange 2007 and SharePoint 2007 on the same server and Exchange is working fine via a remote.webaddress.com. How do I enable SharePoint server to SEND emails through my Exchanger Server ?

Elan,

Thankyou

weisshole: Yes, you can, but you can’t have them serving the same IP addresses/ranges. So I have two connectors, both on the same IP/port, one serves 0.0.0.0-255.255.255.255, requires some form of authentication/Exchange servers, offers all forms of security except External (so it’s meant for employees using iPhones/Outlook Express/etc..). I then have another with specific IP addresses it allows (our co-location IPs), with Externally secured and Exchange Server/Anonymous user authentication. That way our web apps which don’t support authenticating can still send us emails but only from those specific IPs, but the general unwashed masses of the internet have to authenticate in order to send email (this server isn’t our MX record, that server does have anti-spam, greylisting, etc.., and is for public use, but some people still try our exchange server’s IP to see what they can do).

BTW, thank you SO MUCH for writing this article – I understood the basic concept but it was breaking my brain trying to make it work – the step by step part helped me figure it out.

Elan,

Thank you for this post, I just ran into this issue today and this will help. Can you clarify something for me. Since multiple reciever connectors can can be used, can they work on the same port and IP. example default is 192.168.0.2 port 25 and trusted with anonymous box checked will be 192.168.0.2 on port 25 as well with specific IP addresses set per your article. I would think there would be some kind of port conflict sine two connectors are listening on port 25 for the same IP address.
