MOM Rule Name

The account provided valid credentials, but it does not have Ms-Exch-SMTP-Submit permissions on the Receive connector. Authentication failed.

Explanation

This Warning event indicates that the security principal that is trying to use the specified Receive connector does not have the Ms-Exch-SMTP-Submit permission assigned to it on the Receive connector. Security principals are user accounts, computer accounts, or security groups.

The Ms-Exch-SMTP-Submit permission allows the Receive connector to accept the SMTP MAIL FROM: command from the connecting messaging server.

Receive connectors grant permissions to security principals or to permission groups. Permission group members and their assigned permissions are not modifiable. All permission groups grant the Ms-Exch-SMTP-Submit permission on the Receive connector.

User Action

To resolve this warning, do one of the following:

  • Use the PermissionGroups parameter on the Set-ReceiveConnector in the Exchange Management Shell to assign the appropriate permission group to the Receive connector.

  • Use the Set-ADPermissions cmdlet in the Exchange Management Shell to grant the Ms-Exch-SMTP-Submit permission to an appropriate security principal, and then assign that security principal to the Receive connector.
