MX record lookup

Ihave a OS X Server running and use my TimeCapsule as DNS. The mailserver cannot make MX record lookup throug the TimeCapsule... there are no problems in reciving mails, and port 25 is open.

If you need foreach loop for just simple SMTP sending, the format should be
$MBs = Get-Mailbox
Foreach($MB in $MBs){
$message = New-Object Microsoft.Exchange.WebServices.Data.EmailMessage -ArgumentList $service
$message.Subject = 'Test is a test'
$message.Body = 'This message is being sent through EWS with PowerShell'
$message.ToRecipients.Add($MB.UserPrincipalName)
$message.SendAndSaveCopy()

MX Record Lookup Function in Powershell

Hey Guys, I am looking to get a script running on a weekly basis that takes the information provided by the get-accepteddomain cmdlet and performs an MX lookup for each DomainName. After the Script has performed the lookups I would like to have it
e-mail the information.
I've found a great function for getting the MX record information and it works great. I'm struggling with how to perform a foreach with the function using data provided by the get-accepteddomain cmdlet and then e-mail the results.
### Function to get the MX Records for a domain
### Usage: Get-DnsMXQuery -DomainName "gmail.com"
### Reference: http://serverfault.com/questions/164508/anyone-have-a-powershell-script-to-look-up-the-mx-record-for-a-domain

Do CNAME records result in a second DNS lookup

Hi,
I am trying (with no luck) to find out if Windows 8 client receives a CNAME record, Does Windows 8 understand how to deal with this record ? I mean, Does the CNAME record results in a second DNS lookup ?
Thanks,
Rami

DNS lookups which point to a CNAME record only result in a single lookup from the client end, but technically they're an A record lookup (since the client doesn't know before hand whether it's an A record or CNAME record they're querying).
Say you have a CNAME record for cname.mydomain.com which points to
www.otherdomain.com and that in turn has an A record pointing to 123.123.123.123.
The client queries DNS requesting the A record for cname.mydomain.com. The DNS resolver does the lookup, and discovers that it's a CNAME record. At this point it does a second lookup (without going back to the client) for the IP address of
www.otherdomain.com, and then finally once it has that information it passes those details back to the client which it then uses to connect to the relevant resource.
You can see it for yourself. In a cmd prompt if you run nslookup, then type "set q=a", then enter the full CNAME address you're trying to resolve. You'll see the output will appear as :
Name:      www.otherdomain.com
Address:   123.123.123.123
Aliases:    cname.mydomain.com

Exchange 2003 SMTP resolves to incorrect MX record for Outbound emails

Starting October 2007, we have encountered numerous incidents where users complaint that they can not send emails to randomly with Relayed Denied error.
First we thought the problem is with the receipient servers, but after reviewing the SMTP log intensively, I have noticed that the SMTP service on Exchange Server 2003 SP2 tries to send out emails to wrong IP Addresses (instead of sending out to listed IP of MX record, it tries to send to primary domain IP address).
To test further, we have changed the DNS server of the Exchange Server to public DNS service provided by the ISPs and still received same result.
If the user tries to send the email again (from the bounced back message), it some times goes through.
Has anyone know what the problem is?
Have checked the server configuration, DNS configuration, ran all updates, and yet still same result. Is one of the Microsoft Updates causing this issue?

Here is the official explanation i got from MS, sounds like it is doing what they expect it to do.
Problem Description
When Exchange 2003 sends e-mail to the Internet using DNS to resolve external domain names a DNS query is done for the remote domain's MX records. In the event that the initial MX query returns a "server failure", Exchange 2003 will fall back to a DNS A record query. If this query is, in turn, successful and there is an A record for the domain in question that happens to be listening on port 25, Exchange will make a connection to that server. However, if this server does not relay, or accept e-mail for the intended domain a NDR will be generated with a 5.7.1, or
5.5.0 error message.
There are several domains that have A records that point to IP addresses that accept connections on port 25, but do not relay for the same name space:
Eg: Mindspring.com; Earthlink.net
Resolution
Resolve the DNS resolution problems that are causing occasional MX record failures.
Examples:
1. The Exchange server has multiple default gateways set on a multi-homed server.
This is not a recommended configuration and can cause a number of unexpected network problems. If the internal DNS server the internal NIC points to cannot resolve external DNS queries, this problem can occur.
Action: remove the default gateway from one of the NICs.
This doesn’t applies to us, as we don’t use Internal DNS
2. If the Exchange server points to multiple DNS servers on TCP/IP properties, or on the SMTP Virtual Server properties, verify that each of these DNS servers will return MX records properly. If one of the DNS servers does not return DNS records consistently, rectify this problem.
Action: remove this DNS server from the external DNS tab.
Workaround:
Bypass DNS by creating a SMTP connector with address space of <domain.com> and forward to smart host as the IP address the MX/A points to.
Exchange Query Explained
1. If Exchange finds the MX record(s) for a remote domain (through DNS query) it will not fall back to an A record query in the event the MX record (more precisely, the A record the MX record points to) is temporarily not responding on port 25. Instead, Exchange will try another MX record if one exists. If no other MX records exist and none are responding on port 25, the queue will go into a retry state for this remote domain. When that retry state has expired, Exchange will again attempt to resolve MX records for this domain, and so on.
2. Exchange will fall back to an A record query for the remote domain in the event that no MX record can be found. This is not to say that the MX record does not exist - only that when Exchange issued a DNS query for the remote domain the DNS response was "server failure", which basically means no MX was found. So, the MX record may indeed exist, but Exchange simply could not find it through DNS resolution.
3. Exchange then queries the A record and this happens to return a result. If the A record is listening on port 25, but does not accept mail for <domain.com> then we will get the NDR with 550 5.7.1 unable to relay (or some variation of this NDR error code) when Exchange connects and attempts to send the e-mail.
So, the intermittent nature of the problem is caused by a failure to find the MX record and a success in finding A record. This can happen for a variety of reasons, but it boils down to flakey DNS resolution.
For example:
a. A bad DNS server listed as a forwader on the DNS server.
b. A bad DNS server on the TCP/IP properties.
c. A bad DNS server on the SMTP VS (external DNS servers)
d. Multiple default gateways on Exchange (ie. multiple NICs on different networks, each NIC having a default GW)
A netmon on Exchange will show the failed MX lookup and successful A record lookup; however, it may not be conclusive unless the "bad" DNS server is listed in the netmon trace. For example, if Exchange points to internal DNS server(s) for name resolution and these DNS servers service these DNS queries by Exchange, you may need a netmon on the DNS server(s) as well to determine which DNS server/Forwarder/etc is at fault.

Performing an SCP lookup from a computer not in domain

Hi everybody,
I am using the code given by Microsoft (link: https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=13082 & https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/office/dn467395(v=exchg.150).aspx#bk_CodeExample) for SCP Record Lookup. Both links have same implementation.
It works when the program is run from a computer in domain. But fails when the program is run from a computer not in domain. Kindly help me in solving this problem. Ask for clarifications if needed.
Thanks & regards,
Amit Jha

Hi Glen,
Using ADExplorer, I can login and search all containers in all three Active Directory.
More information:
Active directory is installed in the servers in colored boxes.
1) If I run the program for SCP Record Lookup, in child1.parent1.com for parent1.com domain, then everything is fine.
2) If I run the program for SCP Record Lookup, in child1.parent1.com for child2.parent1.com domain, then error is "There is no such object on the server."
3) If I run the program for SCP Record Lookup, in child1.parent1.com for parent2.com domain, then error is "A referral was returned from the server."
4) If I run the program for SCP Record Lookup, in child2.parent1.com for child2.parent1.com domain, then everything is fine.
5) If I run the program for SCP Record Lookup, in child2.parent1.com for parent1.com domain, then error is "A referral was returned from the server."
6) If I run the program for SCP Record Lookup, in child2.parent1.com for parent2.com domain, then error is "A referral was returned from the server."
7) If I run the program for SCP Record Lookup, in child.parent2.com for parent2.com domain, then everything is fine.
8) If I run the program for SCP Record Lookup, in child.parent2.com for parent1.com domain, then error is "A referral was returned from the server."
9) If I run the program for SCP Record Lookup, in child.parent2.com for child2.parent1.com domain, then error is "A referral was returned from the server."

Is there a way to specify a number of vlookup results?

I'm trying to make a kind of loose pivot-table-like date record lookup. Probably best if I show something analogous to what I'm wanting:
Table1
Date
BookRead
1/1/13
Les Miserables
1/2/13
The Hunchback of Notre Dame
1/3/13
Les Miserables
1/4/13
The Phantom of the Opera
1/5/13
Don Quixote
1/6/13
The Hunchback of Notre Dame
1/7/13
War and Peace
1/8/13
Les Miserables
1/9/13
Les Miserables
1/10/13
The Phantom of the Opera
1/11/13
Les Miserables
1/12/13
Don Quixote
1/14/13
The Hunchback of Notre Dame
1/15/13
Les Miserables
In a separate table, I want to be able to pull the data this way, from most recent (Date1) to least (Date4):
Table2
BookRead
Date1
Date2
Date3
Date4
Don Quixote
1/12/13
1/5/13
Les Miserables
1/15/13
1/11/13
1/9/13
1/8/13
The Hunchback of Notre Dame
1/14/13
1/6/13
1/2/13
The Phantom of the Opera
1/10/13
1/4/13
War and Peace
1/7/13
The results in each row need to be the most recent four instances for that book(e.g., "Les Miserables" should only return the last four instances and disregard any more) and only the results for that book.
I've been trying to rack my brain on how to dynamically limit the range of rows for a VLOOKUP: that is, in each row of Table2:
- Date1: VLOOKUP for last instance as usual (which will return the bottom-most result)
- Date2: VLOOKUP for last instance prior to the row found in Date1
- Date3: VLOOKUP for last instance prior to the row found in Date2
- Date4: VLOOKUP for last instance prior to the row found in Date3
I've already tried category tables; it doesn't come close to what I want. Heck, VLOOKUP may not even be the way to go.
I'm concerned this will create an ENORMOUS amount of calculations, as the lookup table (Table2) I need to add this feature to currently has over 2700 rows, and the source table (Table1) it will compute from has over 1400. (That's right, I will be testing a TON of items in the first table that will have no instance at all in the second--that is, I want to test for way more "books" than are even used in the record. I know this seems backwards, but humor me.)
Is this doable, or am I delusional?

Hello
Here's something you may try. Not sure at all, though, whether this works acceptably fast for thousands of entries.
Table 2 will retieve unique book titles from Table 1 by using row indices in Table 1 :: E. If you're using independent table with unique book titles to retrieve data from Table 1, Table 1 :: E is not necessary and you can simply replace the formulae in Table 2 :: A with the unique book titles.
Table 1 works as follows.
1) In column C, count the occurence of each book title in column B after the current date in column A.
2) In column D, build string TITLE[k], where TITLE = title in column A, k = number of occurence in column C.
3) In column E, retrive the row indices where k = 1 in column C (i.e., row indices of most recently read books).
Table 2 works as follows.
1) In column A, retrieve the (unique) book titles in rows whose indices are listed in Table 1 :: E.
2) In column B, retiieve date in Table 1 :: A for TITLE[1] in Table 1 :: D, where TITLE = title in column A.
3) In column C, retiieve date in Table 1 :: A for TITLE[2] in Table 1 :: D, where TITLE = title in column A.
4) In column D, retiieve date in Table 1 :: A for TITLE[3] in Table 1 :: D, where TITLE = title in column A.
5) In column E, retiieve date in Table 1 :: A for TITLE[4] in Table 1 :: D, where TITLE = title in column A.

Microsoft Outlook 2010 & 2013 cannot set automatic reply settings

Hello,
We cannot seem to set automatic reply's within outlook 2010 & 2013. We have an exchange server 2010. We
can setup automatic reply through OWA absolutely fine. The error that we receive is 'Your automatic reply settings cannot be displayed because the server is currently unavailable. Try again later.
However we can setup out of office on any other office version below 2010 fine. We have run through
a number of tests and have come to the conclusion that the auto discover service is not configured correctly. I have been told to run through the following
"We need to make sure the IIS service is assigned to the certificate which includes mail.mydomainname.co.uk
name:
Enable-ExchangeCertificate -Thumbprint 62C247B3BD081D0A8B074D4A928A76E6DA3BABBA -Services
POP,IMAP,SMTP,IIS
Then restart IIS service
to apply the changes.
If the user is connect
to mailbox from external environment as your test results, it is recommended to add the autodiscover.mydomain.co.uk name in your certificate with IIS service. If so, the autodiscover
service can be accessed successfully in your posted second steps(https:/autodiscover.mydomain.co.uk/autodiscover/autodiscover.xml). Alternatively, if you don’t want to change your certificate configuration, we need to create a new SRV record for mail.mydomainname.co.uk
to make your autodiscover succeed in last steps of Srv Record lookup method".
So I followed this and opened Exchange Managemnet Shell and ran the following.....
'Enable-ExchangeCertificate -Thumbprint 62C247B3BD081D0A8B074D4A928A76E6DA3BABBA -Services POP,IMAP,SMTP,IIS'

Hi,
We have this problem with some of our users, in that they get the server unavailable error when trying to activate the out of office.
In our case this is because the Proxy is blocking the connection from the PC to the Exchange, so we just go to Internet Options - Connections - LAN Settings - Advanced (under proxy server) then just add *.domain.com into the Exceptions box at the bottom.
This seems to resolve the issue and allow them to set their out of office. The only reason this reoccurs for these users is because their roaming profile for some reason won't save the proxy settings, which is a different issue.
Hope this helps.

XServe Mail Server not receiving emails from our phone system

Hi everyone,
Since late last year, staff haven't been receiving email notificiations to their work email (hosted by a 10.5.8 Xserve) of voice mail received by our 3COM NBX Phone System. However, if they provide any other email account, such as a Gmail account, they receive the email fine.
Our firewall providers have confirmed that there is nothing stopping the emails going in and out on their end. I've checked the server mail logs and can't find anything of value.
According to a forum thread, this is how our mail system sends an off-site notification via email:
1 - NCP performs an MX record lookup using DNS server IP information to return a valid TCP/IP address for each message being sent
2 - NCP acts as an MTA (Message Transfer Agent) - will directly contact each destination mail server for local delivery
3 - NCP establishes a TCP socket to the resolved TCP/IP address on SMTP port 25
4 - NCP must be able to open a TCP session to the resolved IP address of each destination email server
5 - Each destination server the NBX is sending email to may be configured for a rule base and based on certain criteria my reject an email or attachment that other email servers accept.
I'd appreciate any help you can provide.
Thankyou,
Rhys

I have no way of issuing that command from the "netSet".
Below is the link I found of the self service article on troubleshooting offsite notifications:
http://knowledge.3com.com/service/main.jsp;jsessionid=5CC7B2440667382AC7190A9665 9AC61D.selfservice1?t=solutionTab&ft=searchTab&ps=solutionPanels&locale=enUS&_dyncharset=UTF-8&curResURL=%2Fservice%2Fmain.jsp%3Bjsessionid%3D5CC7B2440667 382AC7190A96659AC61D.selfservice1%3FSearchButton%3DFind%26_dyncharset%3DUTF-8%26 locale%3DenUS%26t%3DsearchTab%26useFocusTopic%3Dtrue%26focusTopic%3D9029739%26searchstring% 3DNBX%252520-%252520Is%252520NAT%252520Supported%253f%26sfield%3D%26dosearch%3Dt rue%26pn%3D4&solutionId=1802&isSrch=Yes
I've tested the internal settings, the dig as we've established, and I've checked the server logs - they don't seem to show anything relating to the nbx.
The firewall has port 25 open to our mail server and phone system only.

Server not receiving email

I am having problems getting my mail server to receive any mail.
The MX record was set up 3 days ago, but an MX record lookup shows it as
0 www.sciencematrix.com
so it should work, right? Does the 'www' at the front mess it up at all?
Checking the account from an email client does not give any errors, but messages sent to it never show up.
postconf -n gives me:
alias_maps = hash:/etc/aliases,hash:/var/mailman/data/aliases
command_directory = /usr/sbin
config_directory = /etc/postfix
daemon_directory = /usr/libexec/postfix

mailq_path = /usr/bin/mailq
manpage_directory = /usr/share/man
messagesizelimit = 1048576
mydestination = $myhostname,localhost.$mydomain,localhost,sciencematrix.com,www.sciencematrix.c om
mydomain = sciencematrix.com
mydomain_fallback = localhost
myhostname = sciencematrix.com

sample_directory = /usr/share/doc/postfix/examples
sendmail_path = /usr/sbin/sendmail
setgid_group = postdrop
smtpdtls_keyfile =
unknownlocal_recipient_rejectcode = 550
What could be wrong here?
How can I send an email from the command line, to make sure the mailboxes are set up correctly?

Perhaps it should work.
There's quite a number of variables here and we'll need far more detail to be able to help you
Some questions: POP or IMAP is enabled, as is SMTP in Server Admin ?
What does: hostname
return (answer with) ?
If you're behind a router, have you assigned port-forwarding and checked your firewall rules ? And if so, have you configured internal DNS ?
What do you see in /var/log/mail.log and /var/log/system.log for a time-period in which you were expecting incoming mail ?
A couple other things:
Your mailserver shouldn't really be calling itself "www" anything, that's web services not mail.
You can in fact configure DNS such that your machine is sciencematrix.com
with it also answering for mail.sciencematrix.com and www.sciencematrix.com
Try the following:
telnet sciencematrix.com 25
if you don't get an answer try
telnet your.servers.ip 25
You should see:
Connected to www.sciencematrix.com.
Escape character is '^]'.
220 sciencematrix.com ESMTP Postfix
From there, reference here:
http://www.metaconsultancy.com/whitepapers/smtp.htm
(just the part on testing via telnet)

Users are not able to use Outlook 2010 to view free/busy information and cannot set Out Of Office automatic reply

Hi All,
Please help me.
I have an issue where users are not able to use Outlook 2010 to view free/busy information and cannot set Out Of Office automatic reply. But they are can set Out Of Office automatic reply from OWA. My exchange server is Ms Exchange 2010.

Any idea?
Thanks,

OK.
Please follow this step.
1. As you said you are in coexistence step , so for now all endpoint already point to Exchange 2010 right?
2. Check legacy owa redirect that you already configure
3. In Exchange 2010 , Make sure that you already configure "Autodiscoverinternaluri" by this command set-clientaccessserver -identity "servername" -autodiscoverinternaluri
https://autodiscover.domain.com/autodiscover/autodiscover.xml. and don't forget to create autodiscover record in DNS
4. in Exchange 2010 , Make sure that you already configure "EWS" path by this command set-webservicesvertualdirectory -identity "XXX\Default web site name" -internalurl
https://yourinternalurl/EWS/Exchange.asmx -externalurl https://yourexternalurl/EWS/Exchange.asmx
5. don't forget to replicate freebusy from Exchange 2003 to Excahnge 2010 via public folder.
You error look like client cannot get autodiscover process please check it again.

Free/Busy not working after mailbox migration to Exchange 2013

I'm in the process of migrating user mailboxes from Exchange 2007 to Exchange 2013
It seems that many of the users (not all) are having problems seeing free/busy once they have been migrated. If we remove the Outlook profile and recreate it, all is good. Problem is that this is happening to more and more people. Everyone
is on Outlook 2010
Test-OutlookWebServices -ClientAccessServer Ex2013 -identity MyName -MailboxCredential $cred    Results in:
Autodiscover: Outlook Provider Failure
Exchange Web Services          Failure
Availability Service           Skipped
Offline Address Book           Failure
The same if I run that command against the Exchange 2007 server.
What am I doing wrong?

I should have mentioned that. Yes, OWA works perfectly for the affected users. Just as deleting their Outlook profile and recreating a new one does.
Results of Get-WebServicesVirtualDirectory:
Identity    : Exch2007Srvr\EWS (Default Web Site)
InternalUrl : https://legacy.company.com/EWS/Exchange.asmx
ExternalUrl : https://legacy.company.com/EWS/Exchange.asmx
Identity    : Exch2013Srvr\EWS (Default Web Site)
InternalUrl : https://mail.company.com/ews/exchange.asmx
ExternalUrl : https://mail.company.com/ews/exchange.asmx
The URL you reference above is actually the site I used to perform migration.
What's interesting (at least to me) is that on my machine I did not have any issues with seeing calendars. The Test E-mail AutoConfiguration (without Guessmart), I get prompted for my password over and over; however, after clicking on cancel I
get:

How to chek if the username has been taken

hi all,
i have a swing panel to indicate user to create his account by entering his user name, password and other data.
how can i implement the program to check if the user name has been taken
, then go back to tell user that his user name can not be taken.
otherwise, go on the store whole data entered by the user.
thanks

Sorry I forgot to mention speed is just not an issue
on a single record lookup.
rykk
so it means if you want to check a single record exists or not in db > for 100 times, either you will create a new database connection 100
times or you will use the connection from pool, I think both the
cases are slower than doing a lookup in hashtable. Of course it is slower. The point is it does not matter if it is slower as users will be logging on 1 at a time over a period of time. The time to establish a connection (assuming you are not using connection pooling), query for a single record and close the connection is exceptionally quick. This is assuming you have a server that is even close to adquate. The only time to worry is if your server is loaded beyond capacity and any query is degrading other user functions. In normal systems the user will be interacting with the database in all the various functions they perform - it is much more important to worry about efficency in these functions.

Perl manipulator Cloning

Hi friends
I am trying to clone the records present in the application using perl manipulator.
To the cloned records,I need to add a new property which is a combination of 2 properties,product id and group name.Product id is an existing property and group name is a new property to be created and should be added to the cloned records as well as existing set of records.
I am trying to use the following code in get_records() of perl manipulator but the records are being removed once processed by baseline update.
Can,anyone please help me on this?
Here is the code am using.Please correct if there is anything wrong.I am not much sure of the syntax.
EX:
Records before:
product_id:123
Sku_id:456
Cat_id:888
Records after passing through perl manipulator:
product_id:123
Sku_id:456
Cat_id:888
group_name:A
product_key:123_A
product_id:123
Sku_id:456
Cat_id:888
group_name:B
product_key:123_B
product_id:123
Sku_id:456
Cat_id:888
group_name:C
product_key:123_C
product_id:123
Sku_id:456
Cat_id:888
group_name:D
product_key:123_D
product_id:123
Sku_id:456
Cat_id:888
group_name:X
product_key:123_X
my @recs;
foreach my $src ( $this->record_sources ) {
my @productData = $src->get_records($key);
foreach my $rec ( @productData ) {
foreach my $groupnames(A,B,C,D,E,X){
# clone the record
# add product_key property to the cloned record
# push the cloned record into @recs
# Psudo code starts
my $clone = $rec->clone;
my $productId = grep { $clone ->name eq 'product_id' } @{ $clone->pvals };
my $groupName= grep { $clone ->name eq 'group_name' } @{ $clone->pvals };
my $productkey = $properties{"product_id"}."_".$properties{"group_name"};
my $pval = new EDF::PVal("product_key", $productId."_".$groupName);
$rec->add_pvals($pval);
# Psudo code ends
return @recs;

I'd do this a different way. If you are cloning all records in a feed, then read the records in twice - once as normal, then another set of record adapter(s). The second set goes into an XML manipulator, and this modifies the properties (see the XML reference within Developer Studio, it looks quite complicated but is actually very easy once you get your head around an XML being used as a pseudo programming language). Finally, both sets of data go into a switch join (Record Assembler > Join Type = Switch).
Reason for this approach is it'll be a lot faster than using a perl manipulator to create these duplicates, and a lot cleaner too. Thinking about it, you may be able to read in the data once, then send it to two separate record caches, manipulate the second cache, then feed both into the switch join. Not 100% sure if that is supported, but definitely worth trying first.
Oh, and add a record spec - always a good idea, not least because it'll give you persistence of a unique id for record lookups (R=XYZ).

Where to configure forced TLS

Hello all
Currently all of our mailboxes are located in O365. Our MX records point to EOP, and we have Centralized mail transport enabled. This means that all emails sent from mailboxes in O365 are
routed from EOP to On-prem, and then from on-prem to the intended recipient. The email flow is below. From my understanding when a transport rule exist in EOP that has a address space of * (all domains) that this transport rule will take precedence over all
other transport rules. Example is if i create a transport rule that uses MX record lookup to send emails to Yahoo.com, and i also have a transport rule that has an address space of * and uses a smarthost, the email sent to Yahoo.com will be sent using
the connector that has an address space of *. Also as i said earlier all mailboxes are hosted in O365, if i need to send forced TLS to a certain domain, and because we have Centralized mail transport enabled then where should i configure the forced TLS?
it doesn't make sense to try and configure this in EOP because all emails go through on-prem first. If you look at my below routing hops the last hop the email takes before it leaves the environment is the Symantec SMG servers. I think this is where
i would need to configure foreced TLS to external domains.
user in O365 sends email to @gmail.com
EOP----->on-prem Hybrid Server------->Symantec SMG server------->@Gmail.com

Thank you. One more question for you. Regarding the sending server, do the names in the cert (CN) also need to be available on the internet? example send connector is configured to use forced TLS to BofA.com the send connectors that used to send email to
BofA.com cert is a self signed cert. Does the Receiving server at BofA.com need to verify the name in the cert that was used to send the email to BofA.com ?
Thank you again
