Create an email address to send notifications

We wish to send email notifications, mainly from a couple of our backup software to notify us when the backup is finished, warning etc.  Should we create a new Exchange server user/mailbox to send from?  Problem with this is that anyone that has access to the backup software on the server/PC can view the pw of this "sent from" user.  Wasn't sure if there are other options someone here can suggest.  Thanks.

One of the options most companies or IT department use to to setup SMTP Receive Connectors in Exchnage. When you setup receive Connectors, you dont need a password as you can authorize Anonymous users to send email. You can secure this by adding IP Address of the host in the scoping section.

I am not sure what Exchange server you have and so here is the instruction for Exchange 2010: http://techgenix.com/managing-receive-connectors-part1/

Thanks but isn't this designed more for sending emails from devices? We're sending notifications from several clients outside of our office.
