Changing outgoing SMTP server

Hi Guys,

I have a Exchange demo running at home. My ISP recently changed their
settings so now all outgoing email, if it isn't of the form
name@myisp.com needs to use my ISP's outgoing smtp server. I called my
ISP and they suggested I do the following:

Under Microsoft Outlook, I go to Email Accounts, change,
then more settings and then I tab to "Outgoing Server". There I put my
ISP's email address under "log on using". I also put
"smtp.broadband.myisp.com" as my outgoing SMTP mail server.

Now this works great for using outlook with my personal email. However,
I also need to configure this for the Exchange that I am running. So I
want to do this same thing under exchange, but I don't know where to
make these changes. If I go to the account settings of an exchange
user, I see very limited Exchange Server Settings, and under Advanced I
see four tabs: "General, Advanced, Connection, Remote Mail". None of
these four tabs help me achieve the same thing as before i.e. define a
different outgoing smtp server and "log on using" under outgoing
server. How can I make these changes under Microsoft Exchange?

I think the changes should be somewhere under the Active Directory:
User and Computers, but I can't seem to figure it out.

Any ideas?

You have to actually make this change on the Exchange server itself.

When you use Outlook with an Exchange server, all outgoing mail is sent
directly to the Exchange server-- there's no separate SMTP server to
configure on the client side.

On the server side, you can add your ISP's server as the default
smarthost for outbound SMTP.

Cheers,

Hi Paul,

Yes I figure that much - that the changes will be need to made on the
Exchange server itself. What I can't figure out is where do I make
these changes under Exchange Server?

Thanks

Replied in m.p.exchange.misc. Please don't multipost - if you need to post
to multiple groups, it's best to crosspost instead, by posting a single
message to a handful of relevant groups (separate the NG names with commas)
so that everyone can follow the thread. Thanks :-)
