I am running Exchange Server 2003 SP1 with two front-end and 3 clusters and 1
Stand-alone server. I have been tasked with the following items and just
want to make sure that I am understanding them.

• Proactively disable both Anonymous and Basic authentication for SMTP
virtual servers across the internal messaging environment



• Designate specific SMTP gateways for anonymous mail submission. Ensure
that mail submitted through such gateways undergoes the appropriate messaging
hygiene controls in a complete manner



• Restrict authenticated relay permissions to those clients explicitly
defined by IP
address or subnet

It is the first two items that I really need clarification on.

For the first item do I go to the properties of each default virtual server
in ESM and go to properties and on the access tab/page click authentication
and clear the check boxes on anonymous access and basic authentication?

On the second item why would I need a designated server for anonymous mail
submission. More clarifiation is also needed on this.

The third is pretty clear.

Thank you,
Tyson
