No, you can't use more than one smarthost in a single SMTP connector, but you can create another SMTP connector going to another smarthost.

Good luck!

Hi Jeff, the information was almost perfect for me. I tried to modify some of the suggestions for SBS 2003 and haven't had luck. But to complicate things I have a dual WAN router: a local ISP and ATT DSL. Occassionaly mail was getting stuck in the smtp queue (I think it happens when the route choosen by the router is ATT - it is my local ISP that provides the static IP). So, with only one smarthost entered my guess is that ATT won't let me send mail to a third party smarthost. Bottom line is there a way (if necesary) to have two smarthost entered? My local is anonymous whereas it sounds like the ATT wants me to use basic authentication. Tim

Hi Jeff, thanks for getting back to me. I tried changing our settings to smtp.att.yahoo.com, but every email bounced with a "address not verified" error message. I've verified our email account, but i was still getting that error so i moved back to smtpauth.sbcglobal.net. Hopefully I won't get the NDRs anytime soon. :)

Steven, keep an eye out for NDRs. When mine started, about half my email went through, then none. It all happened on one day.

You don't need to use 587 if port 25 works fine for you. Port 25 is used for server-to-server SMTP transport and port 587 is used for client-to-server.

You only need to use one email account to use for authentication, as long as it's valid.

Thanks for this post! I've been using smtpauth.sbcglobal.net as my smarthost for awhile and I haven't seen any NDRs come through. So far, e-mail is being delivered without any trouble. I do have 2 questions about your settings. 1)We don't use an edge server, so when i try to change the port to 587, EMS doesn't recognize the Get-SendConnectors command. 2)Would i have to verify each e-mail address with yahoo or just the one your a logging in with?

Thanks very much for this post! Your solution works perfectly, and I can finally send mail through this god-forbidden service provider.

These instructions should work fine even if you don't have an Edge server. BTW, it is totally supported to have all roles installed on the same server.

If I Have Exchange 2007 setup on a single server (not recommended I know) would any of these steps change? For example, I do not have the edge transport role installed.
Thanks again for the very informative post. It applies directly to what I am attempting to accomplish which is connect an exchange07 server to the internet and send mail with it.

This ATT thing is a load of crap!!! What are all the people of the SBS 2003 community suppose to do with their smarthosts until SBS 2008 is released??? Carriers such as TDS, Charter, or Comcast are not making this mandatory yet.

This has been brilliantly helpful. I'm on ATT Connecticut, and this info enabled me to work around the new problem. It's much appreciated!!!
