Setting up an internal SMTP relay - using exchange or IIS?

Hello all,

My client is running exchange server for mail and we have IIS running some web apps.  I am currently using in my test box my yahoo SMTP.Yahoo.com to send auto emails.  I need to use something at my client to handle this and not adjust my code so much.  How would I go about checking first or setting up an internal SMTP address either on exchange or IIS?  Thanks all

Hello sbornstein2,

You would set it up on the exchange server - as an "allowed IP" to relay - the procedure is different for exchange 2003 nd 2007 which version are they running?

I believe 2007.  Do you know as far as my code, I use a SendMail routine which takes an SMTP address.  Would that still be the same and then maybe authentication it would be no username and password?  Right now also I think I have the port set as 25.

Thanks guys I will check this out tonight.  So Pete I can also go to the same place to see if one is already setup correct?  The network guy I think responded and said I could bounce it off the internal email server and said he beleives all inside addresses can forward mail off it.  I am trying to understand what to make of this before I respond to him or check things tonight.  I am a developer so thanks for your help.
What I am going to do tonight is setup just a small test application and try to send myself an email.  I am not sure if it will send to an external address like my hotmail account I am hoping to just in case a user has an external email they use actually.  I will have to see if I dont have to add authenitcation or port 25.
