How to diable SSL for IMAP and POP n Exchange 2007
We're installing exchange 2007 on windows 2003 64 bit version. We would like toknow the way to disable SSL for IMAP and POP. I am trying to research on the internet ,but I could not find any. SSL is enabled in default. Reason why I need to diable SSL is, FAX machines or Copy machine cannot handle the SSL and cannot send a copy of FAXes. so pleasehelp me. I am greatly appreciated. Thanks tester

Your fax machines and copiers need to use POP or IMAP to "send" e-mail? I suspect what you need to configure them to do is to use SMTP to "send" faxes. POP and IMAP are used to retreive e-mail.

if SSL is enabled, those faxes need to be authenticated when sending it out. Exchange 2007 does not allow you to use smtp without authenticated. Most of machines specifies only SMTP IP address. Is not correct?

Aahhhh, I see now. It is not an SSL issue per se, but an SMTP server authentication issue. On the Receive Connector (probably the Default receive connector) that will accept mail from your fax machine or copier, go to the Permissions Groups page and enable Anonymous Users. I think this will accomplish what you are trying to accomplish.

Thank you very much for help. I think I can do it using Anonymous option. (Andset authenticationsfor normal users.)

Instead of Anonymous Users, I would allow emails from IPs of your fax machines. (Server Configuration -> Hub Transport) List IPs of your Fax machines under Network Tab of your Default receive connector or Create a New Receive connector and name it Fax Machines (something that tells you what it's for) and list IPs of your faxes there and put a checkbox next to Exchange Servers under Permissions tab and externally secured under authentication tab
