Setting Up SMTP on Exchange 2010

Hello,
We just setup a Voicemail server on our network and it needs to log into our Exchange server using SMTP to send out reports.
1) What are the default exchange 2010 SMTP settings we should put into the program?
2) I don't believe SMTP was setup specifically, so if it does need to be, how do we do that? Could we make an open connector just for the I address of this specific server?

Thanks!

Thanks! So If I make a specific connector, and then require authentication, should I I just us the username (ie joe) for the login or do I need to put in the full username (i.e. joe@domain.local)

clsgrinder

if you want authentication it would simply be the username, without domain <domain>\

i.e joe

Sorry. One more question. Shows my insane ignorance here. Should it be a "Send" or "receive" connector that I make?

Satyendra Sharma

Receive connector.

Would this be the command?

New-ReceiveConnector -Name "Voicemail SMTP Receive Connector" -Usage Custom -RemoteIpRange 192.168.60.5 -Bindings 0.0.0.0

oh... I'm missing a port designation in that command.

New-ReceiveConnector -Name "Voicemail SMTP Receive Connector" -Usage Custom -RemoteIpRange 192.168.60.5 -Bindings 0.0.0.0:2000

Ok. That seemed to work. I have enabled basic authentication. And then anonymous user since it is just this one machine.

Satyendra Sharma

Yea you just have to make sure you limit the remote ip list and add them as needed.

Crap. The Voicemail server has 2 nic cards and I think it is trying to use the other one to send SMTP messages. It's not working.

Satyendra Sharma

Do you have IP assigned to both the NIC cards?
Just stick with one and see if things work if not required you should disable the other NIC unless you are planning to implement NIC teaming.

I got it working. There was a field in the Voicemail server which, well, even after turning off authentication you had to delete the items in the fields for it to really be turned of. Thanks!
