The problem that I have is that I have Exchange 2000, and all the answers that I can find are for 5.5, none of them work with 2000

What you can do is, in the SMTP connector side, under access, relay, select only the list below: Enter your internet domain name.

No one can use this to relay anymore unless the authenticate one.

Cheers!
