Ok, I'm trying to setup the SMTP filter which ships with ISA Server. All info on the web specifies that ISA is installed on a different server than Exchange. You then install a Virtual SMTP server on the ISA box and relay all mail back to the Exchange box. The filtering is applied whilst relaying. Trouble is, we can't do that. ISA and Exchange are on the same server (SBS2000 install). After reading up on the procedure it needs the Message Screener program installed (done it), a virtual SMTP server setup (done it - exchange) and then setup the relevant filtering options for ISA.

Tried pretty much everything I can think of but to no avail? Anyone else had to deal with this situation? Had a good look around on the web and have posted on ISAServer.org but no joy

Anyone?

Question

Can't you set up the virtual smtp server, using the iis mmc, to talk to exchange smtp which is set up on the same ip but on a different port?

Just a quick thought.

Well that crossed my mind but as the virtual SMTP server is taking care of the mail through port 25 right now...

Ah, actually...

Could I setup the SMTP server in IIS and get mail on port 25, then 'relay' it internally to the newly specified port in Exchange?

Hmmn...

Yeah, thats what I'd like but haven't got the resources That setup is well documented (as you'll know) and probably the ideal configuration (we use Sophos too). Sadly I'm stuck with what I've got for now though. Still not having any luck...

Your help and suggestions are appreciated peeps

Mmmmm. I've never touched ISA server in my life, but this sounds do-able.

This might help you.

@ ChristianR - Yup, fairly standard SBS 2000 install - Exchange 2000 SP2 and ISA SP1 with 2 NIC's. As mentioned the ideal config is to have the ISA in front, let it apply any filtering and then relay the remaining traffic to the exchange server. Can't do that though - not enough servers...

HHxx - just looking into that now, thanks.
