How can I
configure an IIS computer to be a Smart
Host for my Exchange Server?
It may be
necessary to configure a Windows 2000
server to relay or act as a smart host
for security reasons, such as in a
perimeter network scenario (also known
as DMZ, demilitarized zone, and screened
subnet) when you do not want to have a
server that participates in domain
security available on the Internet or
you do not need the full functionality
that an Exchange server provides to do
e-mail for CDO and list serve-type
applications.
Step 1: Verify the
Installation of the SMTP Service
-
In
Control Panel, open Add/Remove
Programs, click Add/Remove Windows
Components. Click the Internet
Information Services (IIS)
component, click Details, and then
verify that the SMTP Service check
box is selected.
If it
is not selected, click to select it,
click OK, and then follow the
installation directions that are
displayed.
Step 2: Configure
the SMTP Service to Relay for Internal
Domains
Depending
on the scenario, it may be necessary to
configure the SMTP service to relay
inbound messages for your internal
domains.
-
Click
Start, point to Programs, click
Administrative Tools, and then click
Internet Services Manager.
-
Expand
the tree under the server name, and
then expand the Default SMTP Virtual
Server. By default, you should have
a Local (Default) domain with the
fully qualified domain name of the
server.
-
Configure the domain for inbound:
-
Right-click the Domains icon,
click New, and then click
Domain.
-
Click Remote, click Next, and
then type the domain name in the
Name box. Click Finish.
