Manually Configuring the Sending of Internet Mail

  • Article

 

If your messaging environment is large or complex, you cannot use Internet Mail Wizard to configure Exchange to send Internet mail. Instead, you must manually configure Exchange to handle outbound messaging over the Internet.

Configuring Exchange to send Internet mail involves:

  • Verifying that your SMTP virtual server uses the standard port for SMTP (port 25).

  • Configuring an SMTP connector through which Internet mail is routed.

  • Verifying that your DNS server can resolve external names, so that SMTP can deliver messages.
