Hi Ken,
I'm currently installing a MailScanner (using Sendmail) and Exchange 2007 setup
and have it mostly configured but in the process of testing it, I did come
across an issue.
When I create a distribution list in Exchange, by default it only accepts mail
from authenticated senders. I have to manually unset that option before I can
send emails to that distribution list from the outside world. How do I make my
MailScanner box an authenticated sender to Exchange? Currently, there is a
Receive Connector that accepts anonymous SMTP only from the MailScanner box and
no other IP.
Thanks.

If your MailSCanner authenticated to the exchange and it accepts email
from the outside world, then the end result is the same as simply
unchecking the authenticated senders option. Its there as a mechanism
to prevent outsiders from emailing certain groups within the
organisation. For example if you had a distribution group than
encompassed the whole company you wouldn't necessarily want outsiders
to the company being able to fire one email that went to all say 1000+
employees. This mechanism simply allows control over who can email to
the distribution list. If you want people from outside to be able to
use certain distribution groups then you simply turn this option off
for those groups, its not really any big deal, exchange versions prior
to 2007 didn't have this "feature" implemented in this way anyway so
its no great loss turning it off. You can probably setup a group
policy option to set this automagically by default.<br>

Use this command to unset it for <groupname><span

Set-DistributionGroup “<groupname>″
-RequireSenderAuthenticationEnabled $False</span><br>
