Currently, we have SMTP Authentication setup via a Domain Admin account. I'm not a fan of the setup since it is a domain admin for an individuals admin account.
Is there a group that I could assign a dedicated account/service to resolve dependency on an individuals admin account?

Clarification. SMTP on the server is working, it's when SMTP is used via an application it fails. We found out recently that a domain admin account was being used for SMTP authentication because of a password expiration and the domain admin had to be set to not expire to prevent the issue. Having the domain admin configured to send email through this application creates a dependency and I'm looking to eliminate future headaches.
send as
option may be what I need to search for. I guess that's part of my problem to is I didn't quite know what to ask. I assumed it was the admin because a user who uses the software tried their credentials and it didn't work, but the Domain Admin credentials did. – confoundr Jul 15 at 23:42@yourdomain.com
. In the past, I usually just create a mailbox and user like “outbound@domain.com” and then give that user permission to use any outbound email address@domain.com
. I then use the account in my applications / devices. However, you can also bypass authentication all together by allowing specific IP addresses to send without authentication which usually is an option in this scenario as well. I wish I could provide more details but I’ve forgotten a lot. At least you know what is possible. – Appleoddity Jul 15 at 23:47
