Having trouble sending E-Mail to outside from MAC and Ricoh device
I have recently transitioned from Exchange 2000 to Exchange 2007. Everything is working well with my Windows clients. They can send internally and externally. Mac and Ricoh can receive no problem but only send internally. I know i need to create a different SMTP connector. My question is, what is the best way to do this? I see alot of references to allowing specific IP addresses. Is there a way I can just do a blanket connector that will allow any ip on the lan to relay out? Basically I have 4 or 5 macs and no idea what their IP is (they are a different department). Thanks!

Ok so it IS the active directory membership that allows Windows PC's to be able to relay? On the Ricoh should I select smtp authentication? If I do that, what on the SMTP connector enforces that? Sorry for so many questions this project just got thrown on my lap.

Ok i've got it working by creating a SMTP connector, specifying the IP, and using 'externally secured'. One final question: I know the reason you don't use it wide open is for fear of SPAM and mass relaying. If I choose the entire scope range (in my case, 10.33.1.x), since it is internal could I not open the entire scope without fear of being used as a relay for SPAM since it's internal?
Yes but no you should not do it. What if an internal client gets infected? It could begin using your internal SMTP relay.
