Re: SMTP Relay Problem

Hi Dave,

Thanks for your answer. I have a single machine and connected to internet
through a cable. When I use ipconfig I am getting only one ip and tried this
one (added to 'Only the list below' list of SMTP Relay Restrictions), but no
use. Do I need to specify my ISP's lan IP range.

Thanks.

i am assuming you have a router that serves your internet connection to the
computers on your lan, if so you should be able to go to any machine, open a
cmd prompt and do ipconfig/all and see what the address is and netmask, from
which you can determine the range of addresses on your lan. you could also
check the router setup, or your dhcp server for the same info.

Thanks Dave,

Basic question... how to know my LAN IP address. Without calling my ISP
is
any other way to know the LAN IP address.

Thanks

i recommend turning off authentication and then setting the relay
settings
to 'only the list below', and then adding your lan ip address range to
it,
like 192.168.0.1(255.255.255.0). this will stop any relaying through you
from outside while allowing anyone on the lan to send mail out.

Hi,

I am getting error while using SMTP Relay, the error is

550 5.7.1 Unable to relay for prasadagv@xxxxxxxxxx

We have Windows 2003 OS used to host our web site (a small business
site
developed in asp.net). We are using 'SMTP Virtual Server' and 'POP3
Service'
components of Windows 2003 OS for our mails (mail accounts like
'abc@xxxxxxxxxxxxx')

When we configured 'SMTP Virtual Server' Relay as 'All except the list
below' (there are no IPs in list) in Relay Restrictions (SMTP
Properties/Access/Relay); we could able to send and receive mails from
our
Outlook client to gmail/yahoo..... (from 'abc@xxxxxxxxxxxxx' mail id).
But
there are thousands of spam mails filled in queue folder.

But when we select 'Only the list below' and 'Allow all computers
successfully authenticate...' options in 'Relay Restrictions' (SMTP
Properties/Access/Relay); We are able receive mails from gmail/yahoo to
our
Outlook client but we couldn't able to send mails thru Outlook to
gmail/yahoo..... Mail will bounce back with Message '50 5.7.1 Unable
to
relay for prasadagv@xxxxxxxxx'. When perform 'Test Account settings'
in
outlook it is successfull.

I want to stop spam mails in our queue folder and want to use outlook
as
client to send/receive mails from anywhere (ofcourse after
authentication
only) which option I need to select. Please help me in this regard.
Please
help.
