On this page, configure the following settings:. Specify the name for this Exchange organization : The default value is First Organization , but you typically use the company name for this value.

This is the part of Exchange that accepts incoming emails from POPcon.

No special settings are needed to work with POPcon but these are the standard settings in any case:. Please ensure the system POPcon runs on does have the right to connect granted. Under "Relay This might be needed in some configuration and to be sure you should grant the system POPcon runs on relay rights. All other systems will need to authenticate before accessing the SMTP server to prevent unauthorized users using your system to relay spam:.

These NDRs will be sent back to senders of mails addressed to recipients unknown in your Exchange Server and they include a copy of the original message sent. You can use these postmaster copies of the NDRs to manually forward emails sent to mistyped recipients to the correct users. On the "General" tab you can now choose wether Exchange will send outgoing emails directly to the recipients system "Use DNS The first option, DNS, is more direct but can sometimes cause problems when you use a dialup internet connection because some recipient systems will not accept emails that are coming from you ISP's dialup IP range while pretending to come from your real internet domain.
