Smarthost

We do not have a static IP. Our ISP requires that we forward mail to their
SMTP server on port 1025 instead of port 25. When I look at the
SmallBusiness SMTP connector there does not appear to be a choice for the
SMTP port. Is there a way to specify port 1025 for just their smarthost?

Shut down the Exchange services:
Go to:
%systemroot%\system32\drivers\etc\services file

Edit the contents for the smtp service to specify another port number
smtp 25/tcp mail #......

and change it to:
smtp 1025 /tcp mail #.....

save the file then restart the Exchange services.

Henry,
Thanks for your reply. I try this as soon as I can stop Exchange.

This brought up another question: what is the essential difference between
making these changes on the SMTP Connector vs. on the SMTP Virtual Server in
a very basic (single SBS) environment?
