Question / Problem

How can I set up SmartPOP2Exchange if I only use Exchange Online/Office 365?

Answer / Solution

Below is help on configuring Office 365, as an SMTP server, to work with SmartPOP2Exchange.

 

Office 365 SMTP Relay Connector

To ensure smooth collaboration between Office 365 and SmartPOP2Exchange, you need to configure a connector on the Office 365 to send emails with Office 365 SMTP relay.

Please see the following link for detailed instructions from Microsoft: Configuring a Connector to Send Emails with Office 365 SMTP Relay.

Summary of configuration:

1. Determine the public (static) IP address from which SmartPOP2Exchange will operate. A dynamic IP address is not supported.

2.Select Domains and make sure your domain is enabled and determine the MX record for your domain under Manage DNS.

3.In Office 365, open the Exchange Admin Center. Under Message Flow -> Connectors, create a new connector using the IP address determined from step 1 as the IP address of the sender server.

4.Update your DNS record on the domain registrar website if necessary.

5.In SmartPOP2Exchange, enter the POINTS TO ADDRESS value of the MX record from step 2 as the SMTP/Exchange server.

 

This is only a rough summary of the full configuration. For detailed information please visit the Microsoft help website linked above.
