5.	Within the Local Bridgeheads section (a), click Add (b).

6.	The Add Bridgehead dialog box displays. Select the server in which you would like to name the bridgehead, from within the list. Click OK to close the dialog box.

Note  Confirm that your Network supports outbound TLS connections to SMTP services. If you have a CISCO firewall, you may need to change its ESMTP configuration to allow TLS encryption: refer to the Troubleshooting Tips below for details. Any inbound email messages to your Exchange server from the Archive (for example, "Restoring" a message back to your active mailbox) is automatically sent via opportunistic TLS.

13.	Click OK to close the Properties window.

14.	You have successfully created a new Connector: name Journaling Archive and type SMTP Connector.

 

Note  You must restart your SMTP Services to ensure your new Connector takes effect.

To restart the SMTP Service: go to Start, then Run, and type in services.msc. The Services dialog box displays, which lists all services running on your server. Select Simple Mail Transfer Protocol (SMTP) from within the list and click Restart in the left-hand navigation menu. Your new Connector setup is complete.
