Guys, I initially got the Edgesync to work and then while playing with TMG, I couldn't get anything to work. So I removed TMG and deleted the Default Edge receive connector. I removed the subscription and then created a new subscription but it didn't create the deault receive connector this time. So I manually created an internal connector to accept all mail traffic from IP of exchange HUB/CAS/MB. Note that, I only have one IP on Edge transport. I am not able to send email from Exchange to outside, but not able to receive email. I get this error 530 5.7.1 Client was not authenticated (state 13).

Hi, You can test the smtp function at www.mxtoolbox.com Also configure verbose logging on your receive connector and try to send a mail from hotmail/gmail etc. Check your firewall so that port 25 (tcp) for smtp is open in both ways to/from your Edge server You need to open for smtp between the edge and hub as well The Edge needs to be able to resolve dns names externally and resolve the hub servers names (you can use host file for accomplish this) Here's a link to the network port reference http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/bb331973.aspx Jonas Andersson | Microsoft Community Contributor Award 2011 | MCITP: EMA 2007/2010 | Blog: http://www.testlabs.se/blog | Follow me on twitter: jonand82
