Question

Exchange 2003 Routing group

Asked by: charles18602

In exchange 2000 we had configured a smtp routing group to block a bunch of users in a AD group from being able to send messages outside the company.  We recently upgraded to Exchange 2003 Enterprise and it no longer works.  Can anyone tell me how to accomplish this in 2003??

are you using smtp connector or virtual server?

 

by: SembeePosted on 2006-02-15 at 12:49:46ID: 15964704

It is pretty much the same method.
This is the Exchange 2003 article at msexchange.org
http://www.msexchange.org/tutorials/MF025.html

As you will see, it references the Exchange 2000 version as well.

Simon.

smtp Virtual server is what i am using.  I mainly need to block things going out.  The article pretty much just references blocking mail coming in.  I want to block them from being able to send to anyone outside the company.  But i had gone under the delivery restions in the smtp connector and choose to block e-mails from a specified group.  It no longer works.

 

by: charles18602Posted on 2006-02-15 at 14:03:48ID: 15965509

If it matters this is a Clustered exchange server and my old one was just a stand alone.  Maybe i have to somehow create the SMTP Routing group in the exchange virtual server somehow???  Not sure maybe if i do you have something that explains how.

 

by: o0JoeCool0oPosted on 2006-02-15 at 14:06:28ID: 15965546

In the SMTP Virtual Server Properties Click Access Tab then under Access Control click the Authentication Button, now click the users button at the bottom, try adding your group there.

 

by: charles18602Posted on 2006-02-15 at 14:09:32ID: 15965577

i tried that and it made no differance, they can still send

do you have Anonymous Access disabled? and itnegrated authentication enabled?

 

by: o0JoeCool0oPosted on 2006-02-15 at 14:21:30ID: 15965729

Sorry I use 2 virtual Servers One is for POP3 accounts, You should have one virtual server with anonymous acceess enabled, otherwise mail will not come in. But you should not have relaying enabled for all authenticated users, otherwise you are an open relay. It sounds liek maybethe anonymous access is overriding the deny user.

this is the page that shows how to use an smtp connector to restrict access to outgoing mail, this is a link off of sembees posted link
http://www.msexchange.org/tutorials/MF009.html

 

by: o0JoeCool0oPosted on 2006-02-15 at 14:25:40ID: 15965777

looking around I cannot find anyone who is using virtual server setup to block internal mail, all of the examples use the conenctor and the delivery restrictions tab, maybe it is nto possible to do this with a virtual server

I believe Vahik is correct here, usually this happens when the CheckConnectorRestrictions key is not set correctly.
