Well, I was using some rinky dink smtp server with basic authentication for my server's forums, image galleries etc...until someone cracked it and used it to send thousands of spam emails via my server...SO now I'm trying to configure MS exchange 2003 in windows server 2003.
I tried the manuals, online help etc and just can't seem to make it work work at all, much less how I want it to.
Basically I want my server to accept NO outside request to send / relay mail. I only want MY server to be able to send them, wether it be PHP's mail() function, or a php using username and password. Basically it needs to only accept mail resuest from itself.
Before my php scripts would run off these options:
Server: localhost
user: myoriguser
pw: myorigpw
And that's all I needed, now my forums won't send mail regardless the settings. Could anyone help me out and tell me where to go? It'll be much appreciated. (the program itself and all necessary services are installed according to the diag apps.)
