Adding inbound and outbound routes

On the Connections tab, click Add under Default Inbound Routes.

In the Server field, enter a fully qualified host name or an IP address.

If you enter an IP address you are asked to give this connection a name. The name you give your IP address connection is not important and can just be "inbound" or whatever you feel is appropriate.

If you enter an invalid IP address such as one from the reserved, private range, an error results.

Enter a Preference value to specify the order in which connections should be used. (Connections with preference value 1 are used before all other connections.)

Optionally, choose a Security value: Unenforced, Encrypt, Encrypt+CN, Verify, or Verify+CN. See Encryption tab for further information.

If you have selected a Security value, select an Encryption Strength: 128 or 256.

Click Submit.

To add an outbound route:

On the Connections tab, click Add under Outbound Routes.

In the Server section, either:

Select Server name or IP address, and enter a fully qualified host name or an IP address.

If you enter an IP address you are asked to give this connection a name. The name you give your IP address connection is not important and can just be "outbound" or whatever you feel is appropriate.

If you enter an invalid IP address such as one from the reserved, private range, an error results.

Or:

If your organization is using Microsoft Office 365 for email, select Office 365.

Or:

If your organization is using Google Apps for email, select Google Apps.


	Note If you select Office 365 or Google Apps, you must configure the outbound mail gateway in your Office 365 or Google Apps account to point to your customer-specific DNS records. These are the records ending in "out.mailcontrol.com" on the DNS records and service IP addresses page.

Optionally, choose a Security value: Unenforced, Encrypt, Encrypt+CN, Verify, or Verify+CN. See Encryption tab for further information.


	Note If you have selected Office 365 or Google Apps in the Server section, you cannot set encryption options as part of the connection. To enforce encryption on your outbound route, configure your Office 365 or Google Apps account.


	Note If you have the Email Security Encryption Module, all outbound connection routes must have a security value of Verify+CN. See Advanced encryption for further information.

If you have selected a Security value, select an Encryption Strength: 128 or 256.

Click Submit.
