Exchange server + smtp.gmail.com

[niceaalbosmierc]

Hello,
Is there any way to use smtp.gmail.com 465 as smtp server from own domain? Already my server get on some spam list (no idea why), and they claim to get some money to flush it out. I would like to use smtp.gmail.com as smtp to send mails?

Meaby there is possible to forward somehow mail to gmail account?

It's easier to use your ISP's SMTP "SMARTHOST" gateway.
(*Call them and ask)
Or where you Host's the company websites smtp gateway.
Just look up Outlook Setup instructions.

There are some Caveats by using Gmail's SMTP Gateway

I personally would not choose Gmail for this...
(I would prefer to pay for a SMTP gateway before using gmails.)
Just my 2 cents.

niceaalbosmierc,

There are a few things you should be looking at with your mail setup.

First and foremost, make sure that you are not an open relay.

Second, make sure that you have an SPF record configured.

Third get yourself some adequate spam protection. For an inexpensive
solution, I recommend you go with Postini (from Google). It will only
cost you $2/mailbox/year. You can then configure your Exchange server
to only accept incoming mail from the Postini servers to eliminate any
spam coming in directly to your server.

Forth, make sure all clients have updated AV and run spyware scans on
them too. Make sure you really are NOT sending out spam.

When you have verified/completed the above suggestions, get yourself
off of the RBLs. It should not cost you ANYTHING. Any company that
wants money to get you removed is a scam. You can do an RBL check for
free on

Hope that helps,

Mark D. MacLachlan

Well by default a SBS server is not a open relay.
*he would have to configure it to be a open relay.

I wonder if he has a sbs Server or not?
