Configure Exchange 2007/2010 to use a Smarthost

 

You should provide the hostname of the CSEG server that you are using as your preferred CSEG service domain.


Routing all mails to a smarthost :


A Send Connector must already have been created and configured correctly on the Hub Transport server.

  • Open Exchange Management Console.

  • Click on the '+' next to Organization Configuration.

  • Select Hub Transport and select the 'Send Connectors' tab.

  • Right-click on the existing Send Connector, select 'Properties' and go to the 'Network' tab.

  • Select "Route mail through the following smart hosts:" and click 'Add'.

  • Enter mxpool1.spamgateway.comodo.com (for EU based CSEG server) or

mxpool1.us.spamgateway.comodo.com (for US based CSEG server) - you need to use port 587 for both.

If you have more then one Smarthost, repeat the previous two steps.

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

In order to change the port to 587 you will have to issue the following command in the Exchange Powershell Console:

Set-SendConnector -identity "NAME OF CONNECTOR" -Port:587

Restart the transport service.

  • Click 'Change' under the smart-host authentication.
