Hi I have choosen the standard Exchange 2010 installation type and I have no edge transport server role. This link shows how to create e receive connector, but I need to have the edge transport role here: http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/bb125159.aspx Since I have a standard installation I think that I can receive internet emails too. What are the configuration steps (without the edge transport server role) to receive internet emails? My server can already send emails to the internet. Thanks for your help. Patrick

You don't have to have an edge server to receive internet email on your HUB. You have the right link to walk you through the process. To enable the HUB server to accept emails from the internet, you need to do one of two things: enable "Anonymous Users" on your Default ServerName connector or create a new receive connector with "Anonymous Users" enabled. Is this not what you are looking for?Tim Harrington | MVP: Exchange | MCITP: EMA 2007/2010, MCITP: Server 2008, MCTS: OCS | Blog: http://HowDoUC.blogspot.com | Twitter: @twharrington

Hi and thanks for your advice. Yes this is what I am looking for. I already enabled 'Anonymous Users', but eMails don't come. I need to contact my external eMail provider, since now I am not sure, if I have another way than POP3 to connect. I think, that I have no POP3 connector in Exchange 2010, is this correct? Which are the prerequirements for an external eMail provider, to have the possibility to receive my eMails in my Exchange 2010? Patrick

So you are trying to POP your email into Exchange? POP is not enabled by default in Exchange. Why not change the MX records so that email is getting delivered directly to your Exchange server (via SMTP)?Tim Harrington | MVP: Exchange | MCITP: EMA 2007/2010, MCITP: Server 2008, MCTS: OCS | Blog: http://HowDoUC.blogspot.com | Twitter: @twharrington

Hi and thanks for your input: I prefere to leave my mails on my external ISP, for security reasons. Can you please tell me, how to enable POP or IMAP on my Exchange 2010 to connect to my ISP to download emails? Thanks a lot. Patrick

Thanks a lot. Exchange has never included any POP-to-SMTP kludge. POP and IMAP are protocols used by client software to read messages from mailboxes, not transfer them between servers. SBS has one, though. If you're not using SBS you can find those things using a search engine. Some are free, some cost money. All are bad news. --- Rich Matheisen MCSE+I, Exchange MVP --- Rich Matheisen MCSE+I, Exchange MVP

I prefere to leave my mails on my external ISP, for security reasons. What security reasons (or concerns) are you trying to achieve? Exchange is pretty secure by default. If you are wanting to perform message hygiene off premises, you can also achieve this with Forefront Online Protection for Exchange (message hygiene, AV and anti-spam, in the cloud).Tim Harrington | MVP: Exchange | MCITP: EMA 2007/2010, MCITP: Server 2008, MCTS: OCS | Blog: http://HowDoUC.blogspot.com | Twitter: @twharrington

Hi I have a small business with 4 users and we in the process of setting up exchange to centralise storage of our emails. Modifying the mx records direct to the exchange server is not an option for us because we dont have a static IP address. Obtaining a static IP will be a costly excercise.3rd party POP3 recievers were not an option , again too expensive and the EFS didnt work very well for us. We also wanted to keep copies of the mail on the ISP because we have blackberries in the organisation and we need copies on the pop server because again the blackberry enterprise solution is a whole additional cost. Just for centralised storage of emails on our server we talking huge costs building up. In retrospect SBS would have been the ideal solution , I understand this version has built in POP3 connector, if i am not mistaken. Setup: Server Running Windows Server 2008 R1 SP2 on bare metal. Exchange 2010 Standard ADSL line with dynamic ip address Billion ADSL router. POP3 mailboxes hosted on www.mycompany.com Here is what I did to recieve my POP mail on my exchange server: 1. Signup for free dynamic DNS account on www.dyndns.com (yourcompany.dyndns.org) 2. Configure Router for DynDNS 3. Forward SMTP port 25 to exchange server local address. 4. setup mail forwarding on internet email account: yourname@yourcompany.com store and forward to yourname@yourcompany.dyndns.org 5. Exchange management Console -> Microsoft Exchange on Premises -> Organisation Configuration -> Hub Transport: Create 2 Accepted Domains: yourcompany.com and yourcompany.dyndns.org both must be set to internal relay domain. 6. Microsoft Exchange on premises-> Server Configuration -> Hub Transport : Under recieve connectors there are 2 default recieve connectors Client ServerName and Default ServerName , -> Right Click -> properties -> permissions Groups : Check mark anonymous access. 7.Microsoft Exchange on premieses -> Recipient Configuration -> Mailbox : Select the mailbox (Yourname) you wish to recieve email , right click -> properties-> email addresses tab : add yourname@yourcompany.com and yourname@yourcompany.dyndns.org , set yourname@yourcompany.com as your reply to email address. We have not setup sending email , hopefully you have already done this. So what we have done is essentially forward the mail from yourname@yourcompany.com to yourname@yourcompany.dyndns.org and it will be recieved by Exchange and collected in YourName's mailbox. If you cant afford to go with mx records pointing to a static ip for your exchange server for direct smtp mail collection on the internet , this is a solution that is sort of working out for me in a cost effective way.
