SBS 2008 Moving From Pop 3 Connector To SMTP

I have recently taken on a client that currently receives his emails via the pop 3 connector. They have multiple domain names and have configured the pop 3 connector via the sbs console.

I would like to each domain to receive mail via SMTP rather than use the pop 3 connector, apart from changing the mx records to point to the servers external ip and disabling the pop 3 connector is there anything else I need to do on the server for exchange to receive the mails directly?

From what I know SMTP has never been used on this server before.

Thanks

All you need to do is to enable anonymous users on permission tab of your default receive connector.

OR for that reason, you could re-run connect to internet wizard and it should guide you to resolution.

From normal Exchange stand point, you need to have the following

-> Have an accepted domain that has email domain on it.
-> Have email address policy that has email address configured on it for recipients to be stamped for it.
-> Have Anonymous users permission enabled on receive connector enabled.
-> Lastly, have MX pointed towards Exchange Server.

That's it.

Thanks for the reply,

As the client has several accepted domains, I planned to move one domain name at a time so that there was minimal disruption.

If I run the internet connect wizard will this undo the config of the other domains that are still using the pop 3 connector?
