Relay through Excahnge 2010 using user account
I'm just coming to the end of an Exchange 2003 to 2010 migration and have one issue I cannot seem to solve before I can start turning the old kit off, we have a third party piece of software that sends emails from the client using a service account username/pass. if I point it at the old system all email goes through fine, point it at the new system and it fails with a really generic error (email could not be sent) if I log on to a desktop as the service account and open outlook I can send with no problems at all, nothing in the logs on Exchange to say why it's failing. if it was a single server I would just add the IP to the relay connector but I can't do that for every client pc on the network, any ideas, I'm guessing I need a way to send as "authenticated users" but can't find the option on 2010.....

Basic auth and windows auth on Default and client connectors, external on relay connector

Thanks for the reply
Meant to say, the relay connector is locked down to specific server IP addresses which is why external authentication is being used so not an open relay, good point on the client connector didn't think about ports.
The issue I have is that the client is installed on about 90% of the PCs in the company, if was to create a specific connector allowing authenticated relay would all email from the client subnet then start routing through this connector? including user email?

Created a new receive connector and used basic/windows auth, works great! Thanks
Go to Server Configuration > Hub Transport > open the receive connector and have a look at the authentication tabs.
