The Exchange 2010 server should be listed. Navigate to the Scoping tab and locate the Source server section. Open the properties for the Send Connector used for outbound mail flow – in our case the Outbound Mail (New) connector created earlier in this series. You should see the Send Connector used for outbound mail flow within the list:įigure 1: Navigating to the Send Connector configuration within Exchange 2013 To perform this step, open the Exchange Admin Center and navigate to Mail Flow and then choose Send Connectors.

Likewise, if you email direct to recipients then ensure the Firewall rules allow the Exchange 2013 server IP address to initiate connections to Internet hosts on TCP port 25 without tampering (such as SMTP Fixup).Īfter ensuring that the Exchange 2013 server is allowed to relay outbound mail, we’re ready to update the Send Connector. Therefore make sure if you use a smart host for relay, ensure the IP address of the new Exchange 2013 server is added as a server allowed to relay outbound messages. In our example environment our mail flow is directed to the Internet, but in your organization you might use a spam filter appliance. Now that incoming mail is now flowing through Exchange 2013, our next step is to make the changes required to allow and then reconfigure Exchange Server 2013 to be responsible for outbound mail flow rather than via the Exchange 2010 server. Once this change has been applied ensure that inbound mail flow is not interrupted before moving on to migrating outbound mail flow. If this hasn’t been changed from the defaults, update either firewall rules to direct traffic on SMTP port 25 to the Exchange 2013 server, or update your spam filter appliance. By default, Exchange 2013 is already configured to receive email from the Internet using Anonymous permissions on the default receive connector. We have tested that our Exchange 2013 server can receive mail and deliver it to Exchange 2010 users. Preparing for Exchange 2013 Migration Updating Inbound Mail Routing

In the previous parts in this series we planned the server specifications, installed a new server and configured it correctly, installed Exchange 2013, performed post installation configuration and began preparation. In this series we rapidly migrate from Exchange 2010 to 2013.
