SMTP e-mailing with routing restrictions
On my Exchange 5.5 server in Routing Restrictions, I have the "Hosts and clients with these IP addresses" checked. This has no entries, to disable relaying/spamming.
I have an NT Workstation with a program called Automate installed. Automate will let you schedule sending an SMTP e-mail; the message is filled out with standard information, such as server, sender, recipient, etc. I plan to have a number of these set up, e-mailing different attachments to different people.
The problem is, when I go to send the e-mail, I get the 550-Relaying is prohibited message, which makes sense. When I uncheck "Hosts and clients with these IP addresses", it works as expected.
The question is - how to configure Exchange to let this computer generate and send e-mails without opening up relaying on the server. I have tried adding the IP address of the Automate machine to the "Hosts and clients with these IP addresses", but this does not work.
Thanks

Can you attach a username and password for a valid mailbox on the E5.5 server in the profile of Automate? This should get you around that. Besides the "Hosts and clients with these IP addresses", you should also have the check in "Host and Clients that successfully authenticate"
If you are using POP3 to access this mailbox, you must go within the profile and check the box that states "My server requires autentication" in order to send mail while you have relaying shut off.
Exchange sees a POP3 accounts as a relay account, so...if this is a POP3 account, then keep relaying turned off, and check the box within the profile.....

I'm not using Outlook/Express to mail. Automate has it's own SMTP feature, so it's sending the mail through Automate and not through a client that can authenticate. As far as I can tell, Automate does not support authentication.
How about adding that NT workstation to the list of Hosts and Clients on the Routing Restrictions tab?
Oops, I missing the sentence stating that you already tried that. Sorry.
