Hey just wondering how to: “lock down IIS’s SMTP server so it can only be accessed from the server itself OR from outside with a username and password that’s NOT tied to NTLM”

Also: “make it clear that we’re not using Exchange.”

Quotes from my server admin friend. Thanks,

but no one could help. So my server friend just unlocked the email client so i could send stuff. So today we find that the log file for today is 35 MB!! And i haven’t sent anything. So somehow the server is being used to spam people!! Arghh!! So we just completely turned off the email cuz spam is bad. But i could use some help on this…
