1/ Configurer le connecteur d’envoi

The aim of this guide is to show you how to create and configure send connectors in exchange 2013. You will see from the beginning the layout has changed somewhat from Exchange 2007 and Exchange 2010. Send connectors in exchange 2013 are managed from the Mail Flow option. First we will create a Standard Send Connector in Exchange 2013.First we will do it with the GUI then powershell

Exchange 2013 Internet Send Connector

The send connector we will create here enables your Exchange 2013 server  to send email to all domains on the internet. Any email that your clients send will leave by this connector by default. Once you have logged in the EMC select mail-flow.

Then you will see on the right hand console Send Connectors, Select it.

As you will see by default there are no send connectors created in Exchange 2013, to create one we must select the + sign. Do so. This is where it looks familiar to Exchange 2007 and Exchange 2010.

Give your Exchange 2013 Send Connector a valid name. As mentioned we are setting up a connector to send mail to all servers and all domains. To do this we choose custom. Then click next.

Your next option is to decide how you will send email. Do you want to send your email through a smart host you use or use standard DNS look-ups that check the recipient’s MX record. The latter is the normal setup so click next, but if you use a smart host is is where you would enter it here

The next option is to choose your address space. This is telling Exchange 2013 where you are allowing it to send email to. So in basic English you are saying I want to allow you to send mail to all domains with no restrictions. To do this we put an asterix * as the address space, this means all domains. Do so by clicking + then entering the * then click next

You will see the cost is 1 , this means the connector is default, the lower the cost the more priority the connector gets. 1 is the lowest cost.

The next option is to choose what CAS server will manage the send connector in Exchange 2013, if your environment has multiple CAS servers then choose which one. My environment has only one.

So by clicking + I enter my Exchange 2013 CAS server

We now simply select finish and the standard Exchange 2013 Send Connector is complete. In the send connector screen it is listed

 Exchange 2013 Create Send Connector In Powershell

New-SendConnector -Custom -Name SendConnectorName -AddressSpaces *

Custom means the type of connector, SendConnectorName is self explanitory and * is the address space.
