Problem with relay

[stevetotaro]

I am having a problem with spammers relaying. I originally setup my domain as mydomain, not mydomain.com (FQDN). Then we took on our own webhosting and email. Exchange was installed and the only way I could get incomming emails to go to the user's inbox was to enable relaying.

Does anyone have any clue how to block the relaying and still have messages come though?

I think my situation was unique to the faq because the non-FQDN. Relaying must be enabled in the virtual server in order to receive emails.

My solution to the problem:

Create a new connector with the FQDN I am using. ie. mydomain.com and then go into the "delivery options" tab. Check "By default, messages for everyone are rejected" Then click add and add all the people in my domain.

Worked like a charm.

Just have to remember to add new people there when I setup their user accounts in the future.
