Ok so there'd be a &quot;Smarthost&quot; Send Connector, for example, that has the IP address of that appliance? Option set to &quot;Route mail through the following smart hosts)? <br />
<br />
As for Receive Connectors, there like 8 of them between two of the Exchange servers so I'm not sure which one to choose.

How do you go about adding a e-mail security appliance in terms of configuring e-mail routing? <br />
If you have Exchange 2010 and a product like Symantec Messagign Gateway, Barracuda or Proofpoint, do you configure the security appliances to get e-mail first? If so, how? Is that updating your MX record to point to those devices?<br />
Then from those devices, you tell them to point to Exchange 2010 server? What if you have multiple Exchange 2010 servers/databases (no dag)?

How do you configure an e-mail security appliance for Exchange?

Exchange is the server side of a collaborative application product that is part of the Microsoft Server infrastructure. Exchange's major features include email, calendaring, contacts and tasks, support for mobile and web-based access to information, and support for data storage.

Exchange

Within Internet message handling services (MHS), a message transfer agent or mail transfer agent (MTA) or mail relay is software that transfers electronic mail messages from one computer to another using a client–server application architecture. A MTA implements both the client (sending) and server (receiving) portions of the Simple Mail Transfer Protocol (SMTP). The terms mail server, mail exchanger, and MX host may also refer to a computer performing the MTA function. The Domain Name System (DNS) associates a mail server to a domain with mail exchanger (MX) resource records containing the domain name of a host providing MTA services.
