I have a Exchange 2000 cluster on SP2. The servers are member servers. Recently bought a Cisco pix firewall and I have a problem sending mail. The IMC sends it's mail from the clusternode IP address instead of the virtual server. This makes it a lot more difficoult to configure the pix for allow the exchange server to relay mail to the internet.

Anyone have any idea how to configure the cluster so it sends mail from the virtual server?

Thank you, but this document does not show me how to send mail from the virtual ip address rather then the ip address of the active node.

This is not configurable. It will send from the server node IP address (where the SMTP VS exists).

Scenario: 10 ip addresses on 10 different (or 1) NIC on the server. The SMTP Virtual server is set to 1 particular IP address. Sending mail can be sent from ANY ip address. You can modify that through Q310155 - HOW TO: Disable IIS 5.0 SMTP Service Socket Pooling in Windows

As for clusters - configure the firewall to receive from all IP addresses on the cluster. There is no way around that (without more hardware or complex configuration and scripting).

If you ask MS, they will tell that it is by design.
