I'm having a hard time setting up my Exchange server to relay through my secondary mail server at my hosting company.

I'm doing this because my Exchange server is connected via Adelphia and I have a dynamic IP.  As a result, most ISPs block my e-mail. 

I would like to route mail coming from my Exchange server through the mail server at my hosting company, however when I set them up as a smart host in Exchange, I get an "authentication requried" message.

No matter which authentication I choose, I can't send through them.

Hi

It will be your ISP.  Get the username/password from them and I would configure a SMTP connector.  Set the user name/password in the connector and set the address space to *

Really??  How can that be?  I'm trying to forward one message through another mail server.  Wouldn't it be the mail server requesting authentication?

I don't normally use a login/password to connect to my ISP.  In fact, I don't even have a mail account set up with them, since I have my own domain.  What password would I possibly use??  Now, if you're talking about my "hosting" company where I'm trying to send the mail through, that makes more sense.  I've tried all the passwords I have with them, since it is their mail server.  Nothing worked, though.  Then again, I wasn't using an SMTP connector.

The SMTP connector sounds promising, though.  What is the actual purpose of it?

That did it!!!

I didn't have to put in a user/password, though.  I just had to check the "Use HELO instead of..." box.


THANKS!!!!!
