Hello. Our company has just acquired a small business and I have the task to document the domain infrastructure. The domain server is a 2008 Small business server and that use Exchange 2007 that comes with this licenced installation. I am not familiar with Exchange sever so this is where I need help. I’m looking for the configuration on incoming and outgoing configuration. All Outlook clients are configured with an Exchange account. What I find odd is that all incoming ports in the router/firewall are blocked (no IMAP or POP or SMTP port configured). The MX records point to an outside spam scanner so I’m guessing that after scanning the emails are pushed to my firewall IP but this IP is dynamic not static. Even then it should be blocked since no ports are open. I’m confused. Anyway, can anybody guide me on where to go in Exchange to see the configurations to send and retrieve email when they come in and out to the Internet? I’m looking into the Exchange Management console and I can’t find anything and don’t know where to go. I can’t find documentation on the Internet either. TY

Maybe communication between spam scanner and Exchange are configure on nonstandard ports? What is configuration of send and receive connectors? SBS can use POP3 Connector to download mails to Exchange mailboxes.Regards, Konrad Sagala, MCT, MCSE+M, MCITP: Exchange 2007/2010

No ports are open at all inbound. I was told that Exchanged was not used to relay email. Outlook is configured with Exchange but suposedly POP and SMTP configuration is added when creating a new user via the new user wizard in SBS console. If that is the case where can I find or change this information? I don't see it in the user accounts or in Exchange but I don't know where to look. Regards,

Hi, Besides, Since your issue is related to SBS. You can also put your thread in SBS support forum. They have Exchange in SBS moduel and you can get more effective support there.

Thanks Brian. This was the information I was missing. A pop3 connection is configured to retrieve emails from the ISP and the blog information pointed me in the right direction. Best regards. Mike
