Dear Boteasy, SMTP Virtual Server - Resolve anonymous e-mail is replaced with Receive Connector - externally secured with Exchange Servers permission group configured within Exchange 2007. Receive connector authentication mechanisms ExternalAuthoritative The connection is considered externally secured by using a security mechanism that is external to Exchange. The connection may be an Internet Protocol security (IPsec) association or a virtual private network (VPN). Alternatively, the servers may reside in a trusted physically controlled network. The ExternalAuthoritative authentication method requires the ExchangeServers permission group. This combination of authentication method and security group permits the resolution of anonymous sender e-mail addresses for messages that are received through this connector. This replaces the Resolve anonymous senders function in Exchange Server 2003. For more information about ExternalAuthoritative, please refer to the following article: Receive Connectors http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/aa996395.aspx If anything is unclear, feel free to let me know.

Additionally, be aware of the risks from resolving anonymous senders (particularly when enabling this for inbound Internet email).
