First, we do not want to use Exchange Server, and do not want to set up a mail server in order to use SPS, but use the company's existing mail server (running on Linux). The benefits of doing this: First, you don't need to spend another purchase Exchange Server; second, all of our employees do not need any changes, and the project implementation is more relaxed.
Our task is to create a special account for email notifications for the SPS on an existing mail server. Due to the mail notification setting in the SPS notification service, only the SMTP server settings can only specify the SMTP server and the mail sender, and cannot specify the login password of the mail sender (now the mail server is not allowed to send anonymous mail in order to prevent spam. ), So that we must install your SMTP server as a mail forwarding server.
After we install the SMTP service on Windows 2003, we set "Outbound Security" in "Pass" to Basic Authentication (if your mail server supports) is set (if your mail server supports "on the Internet Information Services Manager. TLS encryption, you can also choose TLS encryption), the login user name and password are set to the username and password on another SMTP server, the username and password should be in the message sender mailbox used in the settings in the SPS. The login name is the same.
Then, specifying the computer that is just installing the SMTP service as a SMTP sending server using a computer that has just installed SMTP service, and the email sender email is.
Finally, anonymous access to the SMTP virtual server access control must also be opened.
After setting up, our SPS can use the SMTP service that comes with Windows2000 or later to send an email notification to an account on other mail servers. In order to ensure the security of the server, it is recommended to set the "relay" restriction of the SMTP virtual server to only allow IPs of the SPS to be anonymous.
