You need to recommend a temporary solution to reroute all of the outbound email messages through the Miami mail appliance during the planned replacement of the New York mail appliance.
What are three possible ways to achieve the goal? (Each correct answer presents a complete solution. Choose three.)
A. Modify the value of the SmartHost of the Send connector in the New York office.
B. Increase the cost of the Send connector in the Miami office.
C. Increase the cost of the Send connector in the New York office.
D. Decrease the cost of the Send connector in the New York office,
E. Modify the value of the SmartHost of the Send connector in the Miami office.
F. Disable the Send connector in the New York office.
Correct Answer: ACF
Explanation/Reference:
Explanation:
Both Miami and New York have external connections to the internet with Client Access Servers
In Microsoft Exchange Server 2013, a Send connector controls the flow of outbound messages to the receiving server
Internal Send connectors send e-mail to servers in your Exchange organization. This connector is configured to route e-mail to your internal Exchange servers as smart hosts.
A smart host (also known as a relay host) is a server that redirects outbound mail.
Send connectors send e-mail to the Internet. This connector is configured to use Domain Name System (DNS)
MX records to route e-mail.
The cost is important if there is more than one connector that can be used, where the lower the cost the more preferred the route.
This is useful if you have two Internet connections, and only want to use the slower one when the faster is down. Like weights in SRV records, the values are arbitrary. 1 vs 10 is no different than 1 vs 2, as long as there are no others you want to squeeze between them.
Smart Host
In some situations you may want to route email through a third-party smart host, such as in an instance where you have a network appliance that you want to perform policy checks on outbound messages.
A smart host is a type of email message transfer agent which allows an SMTP server to route email to an intermediate mailserver rather than directly to the recipient’s server. Often this smart host requires authentication from the sender to verify that the sender has privileges to have mail forwarded through the smart host. This is an important distinction from an open mail relay that will forward mail from the sender without authentication. Common authentication techniques include SMTP Authentication and POP before SMTP.
When configured to be a backup mail server (not the primary MX record), a smart host configuration will accept mail on behalf of the primary mail server if it were to go offline. When the primary mail server comes back online, mail is subsequently delivered via the smart host.
Some ISPs, in an effort to reduce email spam originating at their customer’s IP addresses, will not allow their customers to communicate directly with the recipient’s mail server via the default SMTP port number 25. In this case the customer has no choice but to use the smart host provided by the ISP.
When a host runs its own local mail server, a smart host is often used to transmit all mail to other systems through a central mail server. This is used to ease the management of a single mail server with aliases, security, and Internet access rather than maintaining numerous local mail servers.
NOT B
Need to increase the cost of the Send Connect in the New York Office
NOT D
Need to increase the cost not decrease the cost of the Send Connector in the New York Office
NOT E
Need to modify the value of the SmartHost of the Send connector in the New York office
A
Modify the value of the SmartHost of the Send connector in the New York office to point to the smart host in the Miami office.
C
Increasing the cost of a Send Connector in the New York Office will make the Miami connection to the internet the most preferred outbound connection.
F
Disabling the Send connector in the New York Office will make the Miami connection to the internet the only outbound connection.
