Hi,
I would like to force inbound email from my edge transport servers to route into particular Exchange 2016 servers instead of all available servers. From what I can tell the SmartHosts parameter is currently set to -- which refers to all mailbox servers. Can I manually update this configuration to route to specific servers?
Mike.
You probably need to recreate the Edge Subscription and follow the guidance here:
You can't modify the address space or list of smart hosts at creation time for the automatically created inbound Send connector. However, you can set the CreateInboundSendConnector parameter to the value $false when you create an Edge Subscription. This allows you to manually configure a Send connector from the Edge Transport server to the Exchange organization.
Hi,
Thanks I did see that article previously, and I guess it is an option to re-create the subscription however my preference is to alter the existing connector that was created when the subscription was created. From what I can tell that statement is just saying that you cannot alter the config when creating the configuration but does not say that it cannot be done after the connectors are created.
Do you know if it is supported to update the SmartHosts on the Inbound connector after the connector is created?
Thanks,
Mike.
I dont think it is because its subscribed automatically to the entire AD site. :(
Thanks for the quick response. Last question. If I create the edge subscription without the inbound or internet connectors, can I just manually create them afterwards and then enter the smarthosts that I want to use for mail routing?
Mike.

Yes, except creating receive and send connectors with Edge Subscription, you also can create and modify them manually. You can check this for more details: Configure internet mail flow through Edge Transport servers without using EdgeSync.
