After creating the Receive Connector, you can control how messages flow through the connector. In

Exchange Server 2000/2003, you could configure relay restrictions to determine if messages could be

relayed to users not in the Exchange organization. You could also configure permissions to determine

Server 2007 when you specify permission groups for the connector. In Figure 7 - 11 you saw the

permission groups assigned to each type of Receive Connector created. There are specific permissions

associated with these permission groups. For example, the

ms-Exch-SMTP-Accept-Any-Recipient

permission allows the session to relay messages through the connector. To view the permissions, use the

Get-ADPermission cmdlet in conjunction with the Get-ReceiveConnector cmdlet, as shown in

Figure 7 - 13 . Such granular changes can be made directly to Active Directory or by using the

Add/Remove-ADPermission cmdlet. On the other hand, the Set-ReceiveConnector cmdlet can be
