I have many alerts set up, a few subscribers, and subscriptions. I at first had an issue with the notifications going through, as my exchange (server 2010) was not allowing anonymous relay, of course. So, I set up a notification action account, assigned it with domain credentials, and then assigned the notification account in the profiles to that new account. So, all seems to authenticate, all is well...almost. The notifications go to individual user accounts just fine...but not to distribution groups that are set up in exchange. I found other posts, that indicate I should "uncheck" the "require that all senders are authenticated" in the mail delivery restrictions for the distribution group, and have verified that this will then allow the distribution group to receive emails. But, I really don't want to allow users who are not authenticated to send to this group (ie. users outside my domain). If I have the user authenticating in order to relay the emails, should he not also be authenticated to reach the distribution group? Is it not the same authentication?
