365 mail edit connector ip address

A very specific question!

The 365 Mail Edit Connector is a feature in Microsoft Exchange that allows you to connect to an external mail server and retrieve or send emails. To configure the connector, you'll need to specify the IP address of the mail server.

Here are the general steps to configure the 365 Mail Edit Connector:

  1. Log in to the Microsoft 365 admin center.
  2. Go to Settings > Mail > Connectors.
  3. Click on New to create a new connector.
  4. Select Mail flow as the connector type.
  5. Choose Edit as the connector action.
  6. Enter the following information:
    • Connector name: Give your connector a name (e.g., "External Mail Server").
    • Direction: Choose Inbound or Outbound, depending on your needs.
    • Source IP address: Enter the IP address of your mail server (e.g., 192.0.2.1).
    • Target IP address: Enter the IP address of the mail server you want to connect to (e.g., 203.0.113.1).
    • Authentication: Choose the authentication method you want to use (e.g., Basic or OAuth).
  7. Click Save to save your changes.

Note that you may need to consult with your mail server administrator or IT department to obtain the necessary IP addresses and authentication information.

Also, keep in mind that configuring a mail connector can be a complex process and may require additional setup and testing to ensure it works correctly. If you're not familiar with mail server configuration, it's recommended to seek assistance from a qualified IT professional.
