SMTP redirecting software needed

Saberu · 25 Apr 2006 at 14:59

I am looking for some server software that redirects SMTP traffic received to my ISP's SMTP server. I am guessing it will be something like an SMTP server needed on my home server (which has my ISP accounts IP) which redirects SMTP traffic to my ISP's SMTP server.

Thanks.

If you're using a Windows Server then just configure the SMTP virtual server in IIS to use a smarthost. Be very careful to secure your relay permissions though (IE, to your local LAN and not to the public).

You can set that up on XP Pro with IIS as well. Don't need Server OS

EDIT: Might want to think about it first though. If your ISPs mail servers are not set to receive the email they will bounce them back to the sender.

Aye, I actually meant that. In my own head that was 'Windows box running as a server', should have phrased it better really
