Configure Exchange 2007/2010 to use a Smarthost

In order to route all outbound mail through MX Guardian, you must configure Exchange 2007/2010 to use a smarthost. A Send Connector must already have been created and configured correctly on the Hub Transport server.

1. Open Exchange Management Console.
2. Click on the '+' next to Organization Configuration.
3. Select Hub Transport and select the 'Send Connectors' tab.
   
   
   
   
4. Right-click on the existing Send Connector, select Properties and go to the Network tab.
   
   
   
   
5. Select "Route mail through the following smart hosts:" and click Add.
   
   
6. Select "Fully qualified domain name (FQDN)"
7. Enter 'smtp.mxguardian.net'
8. Click OK
   
   
   
   
9. Click Change to set authentication method.
   
   
   
   
10. Select Basic Authentication.
11. Enable Basic Authentication over TLS.
12. Enter your SMTP user name and password that we provided to you.
    
    Note: If you do not have a user name and password, select None. In this case, we will authenticate you based on your IP address. Make sure you've entered your mail server's public IP address on the Outgoing Settings page in MXGuardian.
    
    
13. Click OK
14. Click OK 

The changes to the Send Connector will take effect immediately without you having to reboot the server or restart any services.
