Using Ex2010 SP2 Hybrid Server as SMTP relay to Exchange Online for internal apps - Email and calendar - Office 365

Anyone able to setup the Hybrid Server to be an SMTP relay to Exchange ONline for internal servers and services needing to send email? I know that MS recommends setting up IIS SMTP on a server but wondering if it can be done via the Hybrid Server with a Receive connector?

Hello Sean

I think you need FOPE Standalone to solve that problem.
I totally agree, it's a real pain to setup several IIS SMTP relay for differrent services/systems/devices

Please see the link below.

Some messages are rejected when you try to use Exchange Online servers as an SMTP relay for on-premises business applications and network hardware devices:

For a full, cloud-based SMTP relay experience, purchase a FOPE stand-alone subscription to enable SMTP relay through Microsoft Online Services.

Hope this help.

Thanks for the Info Jesper. Need to engage Microsoft to implement a more user friendly way to do SMTP relay with Exchange ONline.

Did anyone ever figure this out, I have some SMTP working for a few scanners, and software, but for sending to external addresses not so much.
