Hi busbar thank for your reply.
Hi Lectricx thank you for more insight into it. Would you kindly provide me any appropriate link with the steps details what needs to be done in exchnge 2010 environment, sorry for reqeusting you once again.
If your Exchange 2010 Receive connector is currently set up to accept mail from anyone, you don't have a problem.

But if your existing connector only expects mail from one particular IP address or range, you may want to edit it's settings.
