Question about mail server settings for new ISP

[twin--turbo]

is this on 2010?

 

Needs to run on the mailbox server, whats blcoking it?

its a p2v 2003 box. I just get a message saying that "The running of scripts is not permitted on this server. This instance has been blocked"

[twin--turbo]

Just realised it's 2k3...

 

Not sure how you get to the advance message tracking. not used 2k3 for a while.

reverse DNS looks something like this: 25.2.0.192.in-addr.arpa. PTR host.example.com"

I've stopped the open relay...

 

What I've done is:

 

Under the default smtp virtual server properties, I've gone to access and then to relay then changed "all except the list below" to "only the list below" then added "group of computers" and then specified the IP ranges we hand out internally, I've also kept the tick box in "Allow all computers which successfully authenticate to relay regardless of the above list"

 

Under routing groups, first routing group, connectors, first smtp connector, I've gone into the properties, then into address space and changed the * in the smtp address space to our mail domain.

 

Our mail still flows OK and MX toolbox says yes!

Nice to see the tick in the MXtoolbox list.
