What are the reasons to configure an SMTP virtual server as a relay host?
Rating:
If an SMTP virtual server is configured as an inbound relay host, the Exchange Server 2003 server acts as a smart host. An administrator can then configure other SMTP servers to use the Exchange virtual server as their smart host and forward all outbound messages to the virtual server. The virtual server then resolves the recipient's SMTP domain name through DNS and delivers the messages. Configuring Relay Restrictions on the Access tab page of the virtual server's Properties dialog box can configure a virtual server as a relay host.
