General DNS & Domains Dyn Email Update Clients Dyn Developer

G'Day. We run a microsoft exchange mail server and have a dynamic IP address. We relay with permission through a nearby static IP microsoft exchange. We use DynDNS to link our domain name to our IP address - incoming mail is reliable. How can we get notification of a change to our IP address so that the perrmission can be upgraded in the relay server? Can this be done automatically?

You can probably achieve this with the more advanced Update Client v3.1.0.15 (as the only Update client, because you never ever should run more than one!), because this cannot only send out a notification e-mail, but can even start programs/processes, which may be able to automatically apply the change to your MS exchange server.

It would be better to use authentication (aka SMTP_AUTH) with the other Exchange server - that's the correct way of solving that type of problem.

You can probably do it the way you're talking about, but it would require that Exchange allows you to script changes to access control.
