Need to setup Exchange Server to use ISP's Authenticated Relay

Asked by pzozulka in Simple Mail Transfer Protocol (SMTP), Exchange Email Server

Tags: relay, authenticated, smtp, exchange

I think this is a simple question for anyone who has worked with an Exchange Server. Unfortunately I have very limited experience with an Exchange Server.

For a while, we have been sending all of our emails through our ISP's Open Relay. Lately we have been getting bounced emails. The ISP determined that the relay server was black-listed. They recommended to switch to an Authenticated Relay.

They set us up with a Hosting Package, where we had to create a mail account and a password.
Their provided us with an IP address to use as well. Their instructions were to plug in the "server name", "email account", and "password" into our exchange server. The ultimate goal is to send all of our emails through this authenticated relay and use the created "email account" to authenticate us.

My question is, where in Exchange do I plug in this information???

While using the ISP's Open Relay Servers in Exchange all we would do is in System Manager, go to > First Administrative Group > Connectors >  Properties. Under the
General Tab there are 2 options:
1. "Use DNS to route to each address space on this connector"
2. "Forward all mail through this connector to the following smart
hosts"
