RELAYING ON MICROSOFT EXCHANGE SERVER
This is a guide to configuring Microsoft Exchange Server for relaying so that Traka32 can send e-mails to the outside
world. In Traka32 we are not able to access a Microsoft Exchange Server E-Mail account directly to send e-mails and
so we use the SMTP capabilities of Microsoft Exchange Server (or any SMTP Server) to send e-mails.
Traka32 simply uses TCP/IP to connect to an SMTP server to send e-mails. Traka32 can have problems sending e-
mails if the SMTP Server cannot authenticate who the sender of the e-mail is. The SMTP server will block the e-mail
from being sent and an error will occur in Traka32. To overcome this problem you simply need to configure the SMTP
to allow relaying from either your internal network or from the specific IP address of the PC running Traka32.
Relaying is the use of a server to accept and then resend mail to recipients on another server.
NOTE:
It is very important to be aware that you should not enable your SMPT Server to allow relaying
from just anywhere otherwise this could be abused. If you narrow down the relaying to the individual PC's
that run Traka32 there is no risk. This configuration should only be carried out by a qualified Microsoft
Exchange Server administrator.
The guide below is based up Microsoft Exchange Sever 2003 and shows how to enable e-mail relaying safely for
Traka32...
1.
Click on Start, All Programs, Microsoft Exchange, System Manager.
2.
From the System Manager, expand the Servers, <Server Name>, Protocols, SMTP tree.
3.
Right click over SMTP External Delivery and click on Properties.
