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.
