Overview of this book

We start with a set of recipes on core PowerShell concepts. This will provide you with a foundation for the examples in the book. Next, you'll see how to implement some of the common exchange management shell tasks, so you can effectively write scripts with this latest release. You will then learn to manage Exchange recipients, automate recipient-related tasks in your environment, manage mailboxes, and understand distribution group management within the Exchange Management Shell. Moving on, we'll work through several scenarios where PowerShell scripting can be used to increase your efficiency when managing databases, which are the most critical resources in your Exchange environment. Towards the end, you'll discover how to achieve Exchange High Availability and how to secure your environment, monitor the health of Exchange, and integrate Exchange with Office Online Server, Skype for Business Server, and Exchange Online (Office 365). By the end of the book, you will be able to perform administrative tasks efficiently.

Allowing application servers to relay emails

When you deploy Exchange 2016, you may be required to allow applications or physical devices, such as printers, to relay mail off of your servers. In order to allow these systems to anonymously relay mail, you should configure a dedicated receive connector on your Mailbox servers to support this. Although the Default Frontend <Server Name> receive connector accepts anonymous emails from any IP address on port 25 by default, this connector should be locked down to your inbound mail relay service or devices only.

In this recipe, we'll take a look at how you can create a dedicated receive connector for this purpose using the Exchange Management Shell.
