Thanks for taking the time to read this.
I'm trying to wrap my head around some of the Exchange 2013 concepts.
I currently have an Exchange 2013 Server in the LAN.
I also have an Edge Transport Server in the DMZ.
I subscribed the Edge Transport Server to the Exchange 2013.
It sends mail out, without issue.
Inbound email does not work. I believe I know why...
The Edge Transport Server has a single Receive Connector (When I type Get-ReceiveConnector it shows one Receive Connector only with the name of EdgeInternal) I had removed the defaults, and created this EdgeInternal to handle anonymous email from the Internal network. Since this doesn't accept emails from non-internal IP addresses, it denies email from the outside. So I am of the mind that I need another ReceiveConnector on the Edge Transport Server. (Which was probably the default)
Now, I can create a new ReceiveConnector on the Edge Transport Server. That is no problem. But, when I look at the Exchange 2013 Mailbox Server's Admin page, I notice that in Mail Flow -> Receive Connectors that I have multiple Receive Connectors there that the Edge Transport server does not have. But these are assigned to the "FrontendTransport" according to the Mailbox Server admin page.
So why don't these show up in the Edge Transport Get-ReceiveConnectors? Obviously they aren't there.
I pretty much expect that I'm doing something wrong here...
Do I remove all of the Edge Transport Receive Connectors in the Edge Transport Shell? And does it then default to the rules that are setup in the Mailbox server?
Or, is there something I need to do to synchronize the receive connectors (Probably all the connectors) with the Edge Transport Server?
I'm missing something fundamental here on how this is supposed to work and I'm hoping one of you guru's can clue me in.
Thanks!
