How to create an anonymous relay on Exchange 2010 or SBS 2011 Standard

December 9, 2011 by Wayne Small 15 Comments

I’ve had to do this a few times now for applications that require anonymous relay in order to send email.  Whenever I do this I limit the scope of the anonymous relay to the application server in question.  Below I’ve given the PowerShell commands that can be used on SBS 2011 Standard or Exchange 2010 to correctly create an anonymous relay for any traffic coming from the application server with the IP of 192.168.1.3.

The process needs to be done in two steps – first command line will create the Anonymous Relay connector and the second like will modify the permissions of it to allow it to function correctly.

New-ReceiveConnector -Name "Application Anonymous Relay" -Usage Custom -PermissionGroups AnonymousUsers -Bindings 192.168.16.2:25 -RemoteIpRanges 192.168.16.3

Get-ReceiveConnector "Application Anonymous Relay" | Add-ADPermission -User "NT AUTHORITY\ANONYMOUS LOGON" -ExtendedRights "Ms-Exch-SMTP-Accept-Any-Recipient"

Creating the Receive Connector via the Exchange System Manager is not enough – if you have done just that, then you also need to run the 2nd PowerShell command below for it to work.

    While medication manufacturers are working hard to develop oral medications that could improve male organ sensitivity levels, topical male organ health cremes might play a
    key role. That archetype is the warrior, and this illness is particularly common among men such as soldiers and athletes.
    Then follow it with adequate protein intake (also include vitamin rich foods in your diet).
    To come up with great ideas to solve a problem we usually use a method called
    brainstorming. It dissolves simultaneously with the physical body.

    People have less and less time for indulging in sexual pleasures.
    The movements have been used to create, for example, mechanical licking tongues, vibrators that ‘penetrate’ the vagina and mouth simulators to give a man a ‘blow job’.
    The best options, to avoid embarrassment at least, are
    to leave it at home or to buy a non-metallic ring for travel purposes.

    Thirty Billion Dollars is a huge amount of money, but it translates injto less than $100
    per US person— a small price that we should all be willing to pay to give the Automobile Industry time to
    restructure itself and to save a few milloion jobs.

    They hafe actually gone far beyond exactly what anyone
    could picture. Form VAT 1C is forr manufacturers of relevant supplies, as seet forth by HMRC.
