We have the Minolta copiers here that do the same thing. At the time I
simply set up another SMTP relay server just for the copiers. I nice
little
freebie one is Mercury/32 (www.pmail.com). It runs on any
NT/2000/98/etc
box. It is very small (< 3MB) and very fast. I just locked it down to
only
accept mail from the copier IP's. It took about 30-45 minutes total to
set
it up and the users love it. It just sat in the system tray and did its
thing. I had been using it for about a year. We now have a linux based
mail relay and spam control server so the Mercury solution has gone
away.
Mercury is not natively an NT service, but you can make it one with the
tools (srvany) in the option packs. Or you can just add Mercury to the
startup folder so that it starts with the server (But of course somebody
has
to log onto the console after reboot).
Cheers!
Ray

Have you ever heard the phrase "Jack-of-all trades, master of none"? I
am
yet to see or here of a all-in-one copier that truly works as desired on
all

Some one that tells me to just set up my server for relaying, I would
not
call wonderful. While you can set up Exchange to relay for one IP
address, I
agree with you that is not desired.
