In the Actions pane, click New Send Connector. Back to the EMC, click the Send Connectors tab.E-mail messages can be routed directly to other SMTP servers, using DNS name resolution, or they can be routed through a smart host (such as a server hosted by an ISP). Several Send Connectors can be configured (differentiated by the SMTP domain) or one universal connector with the address space defined as asterisk ( * ). Send Connector is necessary to route e-mail messages to the Internet.

Repeat this task for each SMTP domain that will be routed through the Edge server.

Instead, Microsoft released the Edge Transport Server role as part of Exchange Server 2007. The fact is that Edge Services never saw the light of day as a standalone SKU. There was a time, a couple of years after the release of Exchange Server 2003 when Microsoft thought, in delivering a product called Exchange Edge Services, that they would have created an intelligent message transfer agent for the edge of a company's network that would offer security, spam and virus protection.
