Using Exchange 2010 Edge server as an SMTP gateway without other roles

I am looking to implement a simple SMTP gateway solution for a few applications to relay emails and hence am not looking at a full fledged Exchange deployment. As SMTP component is no longer available in Windows Server 2012, I would like to know if the Exchange
2010 Edge role can function as a simple SMTP gateway solution without having the other roles of Exchange 2010 deployed like the CAS, Hub and Mailbox ?
My requirements from this SMTP gateway solution would be the ability to append disclaimers, relay restrictions based on IP addresses and sender email addresses, and provide both authenticated and unauthenticated relay access.
Any inputs would be highly appreciated. Thanks in advance.

Hi again
I decided to test the scenario - just for fun, and it seems to work. A strange setup :-)
So you will have to prepare your schema and AD - and create an Exchange organisation.
Then you will have to assign the receive connector(s) AD permission to relay outside the organisation - by default it can only relay internal, but since your mailsystem is "outside" seen from Exchange - you'll need to do that.
Is your AD domain the same as your SMTP namespace? Because then you have to make it external relay after you have removed it from the e-mail address policy :-)

EXCHANGE 2010 - Edge server with forefront FULL OF SPAM

Hi there.
We have recieved on Exchange 2010 EDGE server a lot of spam 200k messages in queue.
We have stoped inboud SMTP traffic on firewall to stop the attack.
Any suggestion how to empty the queue? I've heard there is a way to rename the "Exchange queue folder" but forget the procedure.
How to stop the attacker?

Hi There,
Use the KB below to find the Queue DB, then stop the service listed In the KB, rename the old DB and create a new one with the same name, than start the Service.

Exchange 2010 Edge server shows previous version

I have an Exchange 2010 environment with the Edge role installed on TMG and its working fine. All servers have had SP3 installed and rebooted.
I am trying to introduce my first Exchange 2013 server into the environment but the readiness check tells me not all the servers have SP3. On the Edge server it shows SP3 is installed but from all other Exchange servers it shows SP2.
Any ideas?
Thanks

For anyone else wondering. I've done this in my lab, and I didn't have to remove the old subscription, just export the file from your edge server, copy it to any server running emc internally and import it, then force a sync and the version should
update.
On edge server open exchange
     powershell and run New-EdgeSubscription -FileName
     "C:\EdgeSubscriptionInfo.xml"
Import edge file
     into new server
You
need to be assigned permissions before you can perform this procedure. To see
what permissions you need, see the "EdgeSync" entry in the
Transport
Permissions topic.
In the console tree, navigate
     to Organization Configuration >
Hub Transport.
In the result pane, click the
     Edge
     Subscriptions
     tab.
In the action pane, click
New Edge
     Subscription. On
     the New Edge Subscription page, complete the following fields:
Active
      Directory site   Click
      Browse, and then select an Active
      Directory site in the drop-down list. This field identifies the Active
      Directory site where the Hub Transport server is connecting to the Edge
      Transport server for which the Edge Subscription exists.
Subscription
      file   Click
      Browse, and then select an Edge
      Subscription file.
Automatically
      create a Send connector for this Edge Subscription   Select
      this check box to automatically create a Send connector that routes
      messages from the Exchange organization to the Internet. The Edge
      Subscription is configured as the source server for the Send connector.
      The Send connector is configured to route messages to all domains by
      using Domain Name System (DNS) MX resource records.

Core roles installed on one virtual server for roughly 200-300 mailboxes using Exchange 2010?

For a customer who is looking at keeping costs down, they are wondering whether setting up a virtualized Exchange 2010 server with all the core roles installed would be possible. So the mailbox, CAS and hub all on one virtual slice.
The customer has around 200-300 mailboxes.
I know that its hard to give a guess for sizing, but I was wondering if a 4 core, 16 GB RAM build on Server 2012 would be sufficient, with the storage obvioulsy being SAN. I know this is dependant upon mailbox size and usage, but I don't have those
numbers unfortunately. Would the 4/16 build be sufficient? Too much?
Any further information around this would be great. Thanks.

Hello,
I recommend you use Exchange 2010 Server Role Requirements Calculator to design your environment.

Is it supported to connect Exchange 2013 Mailbox using Exchange 2010 CAS in Co-existence?

Hi Team,
I am in the phase of upgrading Exchange 2010 to 2013, and introduced 4 MBX and 2 CAS of 2013 servers in co-existence.
Only one production mailbox of 2010 moved to 2013. The owa of the mailbox moved to 2013, is working OK internally coz only internally configured, but when I configure outlook using 2010 settings, it got configured but when I open outlook it doesn't
open and throws an error of some "cannot open set of folders".
Is it supported to connect Exchange 2013 Mailbox using Exchange 2010 CAS in Co-existence? because I havnt configured 2013 CAS servers yet.
Kindly share some KB or tip. Any help is appreciated. Thank You.

I'll change Adam's wording slightly - you *MUST* install a CAS 13 server into every site where there is a MBX 13 server.

Has anybody experienced missing sent emails after updating their iPhone to IOS 5.0? Mail composed on phone appears to send but is never delivered nor does it show in sent items. Using Exchange 2010. Any thoughts??

@Satterp
Not sure if you were responding to me or OP - my iPhone is on 5.1. The OP at the time of writing was on 5.0.1.
Also, the OP and I had setup our Hotmail as an Exchange server (similar to IMAP), not POP3.

My macbook air cannot sync with my office microsoft exchange 2010 mail server

My macbook air cannot sync with my office microsoft exchange 2010 mail server.
It used to work perfectly, and then I lost connection and was never able to establish one. I re-istalled my e-mail account several times, no success.

I am sure all of you got your email issues sorted out by now but i was having trouble settings up exchange email on my Iphone 5S, and the problem i found was to go to settings, icloud, then log into icloud with your apple id first (before setting up the exchange email). Once i logged into my icloud account on my Phone 5S, the exchange server email starting working and synching right away.
to confirm this worked, i even deleted my email account and deleted my Icloud accounts both from my iphone was able to simulated the same exact problem (exchange server would not sync with my Iphone 5S) until i logged back into my Icloud account on my 5S.
Again once i logged into Icloud, the exchange server issues went completely away.
Just wanted to post this so anyone else having the issue could see.

How to Block send e-mail by telnet using Exchange 2010

Hi
I have Exchange 2010 SP3 server (Edge and Database servers).
When i logon to exchange server: telnet mail.domain.com 25using commands:
mail from:[email protected]
rcpt to:[email protected]
I can send e-mails without password.
How to block it? What is wrong with this server settings?
Kind Regards Tomasz

you can change the receive connector that is listening on port 25 to require authentication removing the anonymous the problem will be every server that sends you email will need to have a password on your server so you will not receive email
form anyone unless they have the password configured if you only want to receive email on this server from another trusted server than this is how you do it, otherwise you need to leave anonymous access enabled. Spam appliances sometimes will be the only server
allowed to send to your exchange server, but the spam appliance will have anonymous access allowed on port 25 so it can get the email. Typically the distribution of port 25 traffic is handled at the firewall and it's either sending port 25 traffic to
your email server or a spam appliance.

Exchange 2013 CAS server connection to Exchange 2010 Mailbox server

Hi Guys,
I have a quick question i am planning to upgrade my infra from Exchange 2010 to Exchange 2013 and i have come across a small question, my infra looks likes below
3 Exchange server (CAS+ HT + MBX roles) Exchange 2010
1 Exchange server MBX role For journlaing Exchange 2010
1 CAS for internet owa access Exchange 2010
Now i will be installing exchange 2013 CAS on 2 box and MBX on 3 box
will decomm the 3 exchange box which has (CAS+ HT + MBX roles) and 1 CAS which we use for owa access.
will keep the Journaling server as it is will not be decomming it as of now.
My question is is will i be able to connect to the journaling mailbox's which are hosted on exchange 2010 journaling server without actually having any 2010 cas server, will exchange 2013 cas directly help me to connect to the journal mailbox or would i need
to add CAS role on Exchange 2010 journaling server and enable outlook anywhere configure the directories with the url's to make it working.
Please suggest on the same.
BR/Deepak

Hi TheLearner,
Thank you for your question.
Exchange 2013 didn’t connect to the journal mailbox directly when we access it by outlook/OWA. The journal mailbox will connect the former Exchange 2010 CAS. Or we could migrate Journaling mailbox to Exchange 2013. Because Exchange 2010 could communicate
with Exchange 2010 by RPC, but Exchange 2013 could communicate with Exchange 2013 by HTTPS.
If there are any questions regarding this issue, please be free to let me know.
Best Regard,
Jim

Exchange 2007 edge server with ironport

I currently have a frontend exch 2003 and backend exch 2003 server with ironport. my mx record is the ironport which then forwards into the backend server. The frontend server was only used for owa and using outlook with https connection to exchange.
With 2007 it has more functionality and the front end server is now called an edge server. Should I have mx go there then to ironport or vice versa? I'm thinking ironport to edge server to hub transport server. Is that correct? will it work?
anyone have exchange 2007 edge server with ironport? what are you doing?

well that wouldve been nice to know a little earlier. anyway I have ironport successfully sending mail to the edge server who sends it on to the hub transport server. right now the client access server is on the same as the hub but can be easily moved later. this is for very few people so its not like I need to off load anything as its a powerful dual core server. anyway now with the edge server I can test how effective it is versus the ironport. I'll let everyone know when you can ditch the ironport for msft's edge server. (Don't hold your breath).

Can i use exchange 2010 in the mail(4.5)?

Can i use exchange 2010 in the mail（4.5）？
i can't use exchange 2010 in the mail （4.5），but i can use normally in the mail （3.6）。why？

Of course you can use your iPhone in the rain but since devices are not waterproof, nobody in their right mind would recommend it. The risk is yours and an out-of-warranty repair might cost more than a few bucks.
I highly recommend you read this article: http://support.apple.com/kb/ht3302
And some kind of a protective casing if you insist on using the device in the rain.
Live long and prosper!

When I send e-mail messages with file by using a POP3 in Exchange 2010 I received delivered message with file. How I can disable this functions that file do not include to delivery message. I use Exchange 2010 only local users.

I think there is not native rule for this, but you could try a transport rule which removes all attachments over a very small file size like 1KB.

I have exchange 2003 admin experiance and and learning my way around the 365 environment still

Hi all,
we recently moved our Exchange 2003 to Office 365 using a Hybrid Exchange 2010 to migrate the users.
the migration is complete and we have kept the Exchange 2010 Hybrid Edition running to enable us to mail enable new AD users after the DirSync has synchronized the user to the tenant.
has anyone used this limited version of Exchange as an smtp relay for network devices, copiers etc?
