Re: Smart host question...
I just setup a client using Spam Soap for Smarthost and here is what there
tech support engineer stated for this to work properly, you will need to
DELETE your SMTP connector. I have verifed this and it does work correctly
once I deleted the SMTP connector. This was for SBS 2003 R2.
FYI: The smarthost name in the Advanced Tab on your SMTP VS should the the
format, yourdomain.com.outbound15.mxlogic.net

Re: Smart host question...
Hmmm, certainly did not see this in any documentation. It sounds rather
scary to remove the connector!!!
I'll give it a shot though...
