Nice article. I assume this would work if you just want to forward mail to another SMTP server but cannot change the MX record? I wouldn’t need all the auth stuff.

MX points to Server A. Need to have SMTP on Server B. Have SMTP on A forward mail directly to B.

Would that prevent SMTP on Server A from dropping any mail in the Drop folder? I wouldn’t want an app to even pick up the mail on that server.

Thanks.

In reply to John Matteson.

Hi John,
You could place the script into a PowerShell Script Block and then execute it using Invoke-Command. That’s exactly what Invoke-Command is designed for.

Is there a way of loading a list of relay servers via PowerShell or VB script? I didn’t see it shown in the tutorial. I have approx. 280 hosts (mostly digital senders) that need to be added to a new SMTP relay host.

Thank you very much Mark! Had a bit of a devil of a time before your article, but the UI step-through instructions provided the “ah-hah!” moment. Thank you also for the command line instructions; would love to try those out when time allows.

Hi Mark,

Hope you are doing good.

I have installed the feature in Windows 7 with SP1. I am getting the following message but I am not receiving in my mailbox.

Applied configuration changes to section “system.net/mailsettings/smtp” for “Machine/webroot/Apphost” at configuration path “machine/webroot”
