A few months ago we started a rollout of exchange 07. We have one server that is running the mailbox, access, and transport rolls. It's only hosting a few room and equipment mailboxes right now.
When we first installed that server we found an odd issue. To our understanding, out-of-the-box 07 does not allow any external connections. Our 03 boxes are setup for both connection and relay to only allow specific IP addresses. But for some reason, our 03 servers' queue starting filling up with NDRs rapidly as soon as the 07 box was up. I checked that annyomous access was disabled on the 07 box (like I said, default install). I went into the SMTP server from the 03 ESM and added the filter rules like the 03 servers have and everything went back to normal.
So now we are wanting to finish the migration and decommission the 03 boxes. I'm trying to figure out how/where I make those changes in 07 EMC because I can't seem to find that list of IP addresses I entered. From what I thought I understood, they shoud be under the 'Recieve email from remote servers that have these addresses' area of the Recieve connector. But that is showing as the default (0.0.0.0-255.255.255.255).
What am I missing? Am I looking in the wrong area?
Thanks for the help!
