Thanks, I just ended up doing a customer configuration and this worked fine. &nbsp;I guess the information provided by the supplier was incorrect (I noticed that the screenshot in their documentation showed them selecting 'custom' even though the text said select 'partner'.)

I am attempting to setup a new Send Connector in Exchange 2016 to route my outbound email via a smarthost.<br />

The instructions I have from the supplier are to select &quot;Type = Partner&quot; and the &quot;Route mail through smart hosts&quot;, then enter the suppliers IP addresses.<br />

I guess I could try to create this using powershell instead, but I am concerned that there is something wrong elsewhere which is preventing me from selecting this option.<br />

Any ideas?

I am attempting to setup a new Send Connector in Exchange 2016 to route my outbound email via a smarthost.

The instructions I have from the supplier are to select "Type = Partner" and the "Route mail through smart hosts", then enter the suppliers IP addresses.

However, I am unable to select "Route Mail through smart host".  The option is just simply greyed out and impossible to select.
