Is this a question? Why are you using ADSI edit? That sounds like a horrible idea!! You can easily add an additional connector for the applications that need to relay without disrupting normal inbound mailflow.

Hi, Yes Mike is correct. You can create a new connector and on the permissions tab you can enable "Anonymous" submission. This will help you to relay the mails without authentication. Thanks.
