2 things:<br />
<br />
1. I'm going here to review the SMTP Logs on our Internal 2003 Bridgehead servers:<br />
&quot;C:\WINDOWS\system32\LogFi<wbr />les\SMTPSV<wbr />C1&quot;<br />
I know the IP of one the applications yesterday that was having issues sending emails off of one the Bridgehead servers. &nbsp;I had to add the IP to the Allowed Relay List to resolve it. &nbsp;<br />
What would be the string to search against within the Logs to see the server attempting to use anonymous smtp to send emails and it fails?<br />
<br />
2. If there is such a string to search against, could there be a script out there that would pull all the items from the log files and dump it to a new .txt file so I'm not searching each server manually?<br />
<br />
Thanks

Exchange is the server side of a collaborative application product that is part of the Microsoft Server infrastructure. Exchange's major features include email, calendaring, contacts and tasks, support for mobile and web-based access to information, and support for data storage.

Exchange

Within Internet message handling services (MHS), a message transfer agent or mail transfer agent (MTA) or mail relay is software that transfers electronic mail messages from one computer to another using a client–server application architecture. A MTA implements both the client (sending) and server (receiving) portions of the Simple Mail Transfer Protocol (SMTP). The terms mail server, mail exchanger, and MX host may also refer to a computer performing the MTA function. The Domain Name System (DNS) associates a mail server to a domain with mail exchanger (MX) resource records containing the domain name of a host providing MTA services.

VBScript (Visual Basic Scripting Edition) is an interpreted scripting language developed by Microsoft that is modeled on Visual Basic, but with some important differences. VBScript is commonly used for automating administrative and other tasks in Windows operating systems (by means of the Windows Script Host) and for server-side scripting in ASP web applications. It is also used for client-side scripting in Internet Explorer, specifically in intranet web applications.
