Hi Bob,
 
Go to www.msexchange.org and www.isaserver.org and you'll find some
great tutorials on SMTP relay.

        I have a W2K box that runs just the SMTP service.  It's used to
send out emails to a couple thousand subscribers to our reminder service
a couple of times a month.  These are emails put into the SMTP server's
queue by a custom application that generates them.  We don't actually
use Exchange or anything else on this box, it's just a stand-alone unit
isolated from our corporate network for safety's sake.
         
        I'm a bit of an email administration virgin, so forgive me if
this is a naive question ... but if I uncheck the box in the SMTP
service that allows anonymous logins, so that I'm not an open relay --
then any mail that gets sent to that box gets bounced.  How do I allow
emails to my own domain in, from all comers, without being an open
relay?  I want to catch repy-to's and bounces of the mails I'm sending.
         
        The bounce error says, "relay refused" but that wouldn't be a
relay, it'd be a delivery.
         
        I've Googled around but can't find anything that addresses my
scenario.
