I have a problem that, hopefully, someone could help me out with. I have a 

simple app that provides users with general information about a product 

and then if they want more detailed information, they fill out a form and 

2 emails are fired off. One goes to our marketing people to let them know 

a new contact has been added to the db. The other email goes to the user 

that requested the information and contains a link to a PDF document.



Here's the problem... Our mail servers are setup to not allow mail 

relaying. So the original mail (internal to marketing) gets delivered fine 

but the mail that gets sent externally (to the users email) comes back to 

our exchange server admin with this message:



------------------------------------------------



------Transcript of session follows -------

user@e...

550 Relaying is prohibited



-------------------------------------------------



Is there someway around this? I thought there would be a way to setup the 

mail server to relay messages from a specific server (ours) but can not 

find out how. I also though that maybe I could setup a web account on the 

exchange server that I could login to with CDONTS.Session but I can only 

find out how to use LogonSMTP which doesn't authenticate. If anyone can 

give me a hand with this problem, you'd make my day.



Thanks,

Nick

Are you using an Exchange server?  If so, what version?



If its Exchange you can go into the Exchange administrator, open your

container and go to 'Configuration' and select "Connections'.  From there

you will see an "Internet Mail Service(Servername)".  Open the properties

and check both the 'Connections' and 'Routing' tab.  I forgot which one it

is but there's a place where you can allow connections from specific hosts.



Cheers,

Eli

Yeah. It's Exchange Server 5.5. Thanks for the info. I'll head over to the 

server room and see if the admins can get it setup to work. Thanks for the 

help man.
