Exchange server + smtp.gmail.com

**niceaalbosmierc** · 16-07-2009

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?

I think you should simply call up your ISP and ask them for their SMTP "SMARTHOST" gateway. It would be the easiest way. Alternatively you can re-check your Outlook Setup. There are some Caveats by using Gmail's SMTP Gateway.

The very first thing you need to check is you are not an open relay and ensure that you have an SPF record configured. After this I’ll suggest you to get any spam protection. After doing this you will be able to configure your Exchange server to only accept incoming mail from the Spam Protection servers. It will automatically eliminate any spam coming in directly to your server.
