Exchange 2013 Send Connector Has Mailbox Server As The Source

Don’t get confused when you start playing with Exchange 2013 ;)

There are no send connectors created by default in 2013, although there is a receive connector configured to accept emails from the internet. When you do go ahead with creating a new send connector, the wizards are all the same, as in Exchange 2010.

Give a name to the send connector and choose “Internet” as the type.

Create Exchange 2013 Send Connector_1

Use MX record or route through a smart host if you have one.

Create Exchange 2013 Send Connector_2

Configure the address space, * if it is for all domains.

Create Exchange 2013 Send Connector_3

Click the “+” button to add the source servers for the connector.

Create Exchange 2013 Send Connector_4

You may get confused here, but it is the 2013 mailbox servers which will be sending the emails out. You can proxy the emails via the CAS servers if you so wish. If not, it will be the transport service on the mailbox server that makes the connection to the next hop, be it your smart host or the external mail server.

Create Exchange 2013 Send Connector_5

Select your mailbox servers and click Finish. You can now send emails to the internet ;)
