Why should it be necessary to have different authentication requirements for
the different ports?
 
Just set up on VS to listen on 25 and 587 and require authentication for
relaying purposes.
 
I would guess he's already requiring authentication to relay for his clients
that can still come in on 25.
 
 
A better question is, "Why bother using the Exchange server?  Just use the
ISP's mail server for outbound SMTP".
(One possible response is "ISP limits message size or volume" but if not
that, then what?)

How do you set one to require authentication and the other "not to"?

Huh?
 
At least, in Exchange 2003:
 
Default SMTP Virtual Server
Properties
Advanced
"Configure multiple identities for this Virtual Server"
 
Mine shows
 
IP Address   TCP Port
192.168.0.10 2525
192.168.0.10 25
 
Two ports, one IP address, one VS.

Yes, but each SMTP VS can only listen on a single port. So you'd probably
want to add an additional SMTP VS.

I am not sure if Exchange can be configured to listen on 587 in addition to
25, but it is accepting inbound authenticated connections is what you meant.


 

A work around (as long as your Exchange server is properly configured) is to
add an inbound rule to your firewall (you are running a firewall aren't you)
to redirect incoming port 587 traffic on the external interface to port 25
on the internal destination.

Hello:

 

We have several users who access their Exchange accounts via POP and SMTP.
Recently, several large ISPs have started blocking outbound traffic that
does not use their servers. Is there a way to tell Exchange 2000 to use
authenticated outbound connections (e.g., over port 587)?

 

Thanks.
