Asp Relay

Ok my setup is at home and so is not ideal but it's what I have.

I have a Windows 2000 Advanced Server running IIS. I have a web site which uses CDONTS to send email and this worked fine.

I then installed Exchange 2000 on there which is working ok but now when my asp code trys to send emails I get a Permission denied error.

I have been into Exchange System Manager and set Relaying to be allowed from 127.0.0.1 and 192.168.1.102 but I still get the error.

Any ideas anyone?

Thanks

did u restart ur exchange server?

I hadn't rebooted as you don't need to when you make simillar changes to SMTP through IIS and also I received no message telling me I needed to reboot. However I have just tried rebooting and the problem is still there.

in ur smtp virtual server\access \authentication do u have anonymous enabled? if not
it should be.....

daveamour

ASKER

Yes that is ticked along with Basic Authentication and Integrated Windows Authentication

Any other ideas?

Thanks

Dave

it is ticked with basic and itegrated? well take out basic and integrated, restart ur servers
and see if ur problem is solved...

Ok I've removed the ticks from Basic and Integrated and rebooted the server but still getting the same problem :(

Any other ideas?

no i have no more ideas....this is a simple setup and u have it right...all u have to do in
the relay section check the "only the list below" and put the ip address of ur IIS server
and check "allow computers which successfully authenticate to relay regardless of list
above"....and have anonymous authenitcation checked in ur authentication section.

well u could enable logging in ur exchange server and see if u can find some clues as
to why u get permission denied....

Ok thanks, I'll look into this.

Anyone else shed any light?

Thanks

did u get this problem resolved? i may have one more trick...

daveamour

ASKER

I haven't got this resolved no.

The problem only appeared after I installed Exchange server on my web server. I have a new web server coming tomorrow so this will no longer be an issue but I would still like to figure this out. What's your idea?

Thanks

well this was not an issue in 2000....but i was reading that in 2003 the relaying server
must have SEND AS permission on the smtp virtual server....to see this u must use
ADSIEdit and ...go to the virtual server security tab and check ....
A lot of folks are having ur kinda problem with relaying in exchange 2003....

Ok Can't seem to find ADSIEdit. I read this is a mmc snap in but can't see it! Do I need to download this and if so do you have a link. Had a quick google but couldn't see anything.

Thanks

did u install windows administrative tools...that is where u will find it?? it must be in ur window server CD or exchange CD....in the support\tools section...i think

daveamour

ASKER

Ahhh

I am connecting to my server remotley and no cd in the drive :(

I'll have a look tonight and get back to you.

Thanks

Hi again

I managed to get ADSIEdit installed but I can't find the virtual server security tab. Can you give me some idiot proof instructions on how to find this?

Thanks
