All-
Anyone ever worked with multiple SMTP virtual servers on the same Exchange
box?
We have a small shop with a single Exchange 2003 server. Naturally, I have
to allow unauthenticated/unencrypted TCP-25 traffic to flow to the box to
accept new mail from the Internet. Our remote users pickup e-mail via IMAP
over SSL (TCP-993) but just use the same SMTP port (25) to drop off their
outbound e-mail.
Ideally, I would like to setup a 2nd SMTP virtual server on ... say ... port
2525 that works over SSL and only allows authenticated users to interact
with it. I am hoping there is then a way to configure outbound messages send
to *this* port to be forwarded to the original SMTP virtual server on port
25, and then out to the Internet.
The idea is: internal users would be able to communicate with internal users
over encrypted channels for both sending and receiving messages. Obviously,
there is not much I can do once a message leaves our network and hits the
Internet.
Anyway, is this possible?

Set second VS (the one that listens on 2525) to smarthost all mail to IP of
first VS. Enter IP in format: [x.x.x.x] (be sure to include square
brackets).
Have users send mail to second VS.
Create SMTP connector to use first VS for internet mail.
Your MX record naturally should continue to point to IP of first VS.
