Hi, just today I stumbled into the same problem. It is
true, I got this answer from an expert:
"Unfortunately this will not work. SMTP relaying is
disabled on all the
Exchange connector servers and a standard Exchange
mailbox server does not
support SMTP. The only way that you can send SMTP
email from within our company is to use the Internal MailSweeper. And
to allow this we need the IP
Address of the box that will be sending the messages
so that we can include
it in the authenticated list. We have to have things
set up this way for
Security reasons.
One other thing I should have mentioned. Outlook uses
mapi to send on the
Exchange servers. So we can use the mapisend command
but I do not know if
your application would support this. I think that
this may also need a
valid Outlook profile to work."
I don`t understand that either, because I am trying to
use my Linux server (inside my companys network) to
deliver mails to the exchange server via sendmail. If anyone knows more about this topic, let me
know.....sorry that this obviously does not belong to
a php list, but I deleted the original email & could
not find the email address of the author of this topic
:(
I wonder about his expertise. Authentication was meant for security reasons.
Anyway, you do no not need to relay in the company SMTP server unless outside access is blocked in some firewall.
If you are using Linux, you just need to use the mail() function because it just uses sendmail by default.
If you still have problems, just use the classes that I mentioned enabling direct delivery mode in the SMTP sending attributes. That does the same as sendmail but at least if it fails you can enable debugging to see what the SMTP protocol dialog reveals.

a friend of mine is trying to set up an automated

The platform is Windows & he's using the last PHP
release at this
time. He asks me how to do it with Exchange, because it
doesn't speak SMTP
or not correctly? What is the matter? Is that
true? But that's not
really the question... could somebody point me to
some documents where
I could find out, what has to be done to make it
work?
I do not see what he means by not speaking SMTP
correctly. Anyway, if it receives e-mail that you get, it also can relay
messages that you send. I think in the worst case you need to authenticate.
In that case you may want to try this class for
composing and sending messages. It comes with a sub class for sending
messages via SMTP that supports authentication.

You also need this class for the actual message delivery:
