.To add a new IP address or port number, click Add The following options are available in the window that appears:
Use all IP addresses available on this server To use all IP addresses that are associated with this computer, select this recommended option.
Note
You must specify a local IP address that is valid for the Hub Transport server or Edge Transport server on which the Receive connector is located. If you specify an invalid local IP address, the Microsoft Exchange Transport service may fail to start when the service is restarted.
Specify an IP address Select this option if the following conditions are true:
More than one IP address is associated with the computer.
You want to bind the Receive connector to a specific IP address.
Then, in the text box, type the IP address on which this Receive connector accepts connections.
Port This field identifies the port number on which this Receive connector listens for incoming mail. TCP port 25 is the default port that is used for message transmission between Simple Mail Transfer Protocol (SMTP) messaging servers.
Receive mail from remote servers which have these IP addresses
Use this list to specify the remote IP address range from which this Receive connector accepts connections. To add the remote IP address or remote IP address range, use one of the following methods:To enter an IP address or subnet without a subnet mask, or to specify the subnet mask by using Classless Interdomain Routing (CIDR) notation, click Add or the drop-down arrow located next to Add and select IP Address. In the Add IP address(es) of Remote Servers dialog box, enter the IP address by using one of the following methods:
IP address without a subnet mask For example, 192.168.1.0. If you don't specify a subnet mask by using CIDR notation, the classful default subnet mask is assumed.
IP address by using CIDR notation For example, 192.168.1.0/24
To enter an IP address or subnet together with a subnet mask in dotted decimal notation, click the drop-down arrow located next to Add and select IP and Mask. In the Add Remote Servers - IP and Mask dialog box, enter the IP address and the subnet mask by using the following syntax:
IP Address For example, 192.168.1.0
Subnet Mask For example, 255.255.255.0
To specify an IP address range by using the first IP address and the last IP address in the range, click the drop-down arrow located next to Add and select IP Range. In the Add Remote Servers - IP Range dialog box, enter the IP address and the subnet mask by using the following syntax:
Start Address For example, 192.168.1.1
End Address For example, 192.168.255.255
Because you can't specify a subnet mask, the classful default subnet mask is assumed.
To edit an existing IP address range, select the IP address range, and then click Edit.
To remove an existing IP address range, select the IP address range, and then click
