hi, >>>i have now vps server with windows 2008 r2 data center and i want to creat my own smtp server so any suggest? You can use the smtp feature on windows 2008 R2 like Ed say. But i think you can also consider to use the isp'server as a smart host or directly publish your exchange to the internet. hope can help you thanks,CastinLu TechNet Community Support

hello, i installed smtp service and i setup to work with port 8080, i set exchange 2010 send connector with it and the emails sent. how i can make the exchange must be authenticate using user name and password to work with smtp? how i can make this smtp recive the emails then forward it to local exchange server, how i can set the long time to save it if the exchange down. thanks.

Port 8080? No Internet mailer will use that port. The Internet knows only port 25. If you require Exchange to authenticate SMTP, then nobody on the Internet will be able to send you mail. You should configure Exchange to require authentication to relay, and there are plenty of articles that any of the Internet's search engines can find for you.Ed Crowley MVP "There are seldom good technological solutions to behavioral problems."

You would need to ask the folks at DynDNS how they do it. Port 587 is the client submission receive connector, and that one requires authentication by default.Ed Crowley MVP "There are seldom good technological solutions to behavioral problems."
