| Microsoft Exchange Server 2007 |
| Important Points - These instructions assume your email account has already been setup and is collecting email correctly.
- Take a note of any settings you change.
- Only change the items specified - you should not need to change either your email address, POP3 server, POP3 username / password.
- If your Exchange Server 2007 is currently able to send emails externally, a Send Connector must already have been created and configured correctly on the Hub Transport server.
Configuring Exchange 2007 to use the InboxFX Smarthosts, therefore, just requires you to modify the settings on this Send Connector.
For Exchange 2007, Microsoft has split up into separate roles, the various jobs that Exchange has to perform, with the implication that each role will be handled by a different server.
The Hub Transport role is the one responsible for sending and receiving external emails. In the real world of small to medium sized companies, a single Exchange server is likely to be performing all the various roles. |
