Microsoft
 exchange servers

OPM
 can work with different kinds of SMTP mail servers configured as relay servers. This section demonstrates how to set up 
Microsoft Exchange Server
 2007 and 2010.
  1. Open the 
    Exchange Management Console
     on the mail server.
  2. Navigate to 
    Microsoft Exchange
     > 
    Server Configuration
     > 
    Hub Transfer
    .
  3. Go to the 
    Receive Connectors
     section in the middle lower pane and select or create a new Receive connector for OPM relay purposes.
  4. Open the 
    Property
     window.
  5. Click the 
    Network
     tab and specify the port. The default is 25.
  6. Add the 
    BlackBerry AtHoc
     
    NDS
     server IP to the 
    IP addresses
     list.
  7. Click 
    Authentication
     and select the authentication mode that you want to use:
    • Select 
      Basic Authentication
       to enable login authentication.
    • Select 
      Integrated Windows authentication
       to enable NTLM authentication.
    • Select 
      Externally Secured (for example, with IPSec)
       to have no authentication (anonymous).
  8. Open Exchange Management Shell, which is part of PowerShell (PS).
  9. In PS, run the following command to display the settings of the relay server receive connector: 
    Get-ReceiveConnector “ReceiveConnectorName” | format-list
    This command lists all the current settings, including important parameters that can significantly affect 
    OPM
     performance:
    • MaxInboundConnectionsPerSource: Set to between 100-200. A value less than 100 can slow down throughput.
    • MaxInboundConnectionsPercentagePerSource: Set to 100.
    • MessageRatelimit – throttling: Set to 
      unlimited 
      to achieve maximum performance.
    • MaxAcknowledgementDelay: Set to 0 (turn off Acknowledgement Delay feature) to achieve maximum performance.
  10. Use the following command to change any of the above parameters: 
    Set-ReceiveConnector “ReceiveConnectorName” ParamName NewValue
    .
  11. In the 
    OpmPlugin.config
     file, set up the 
    relayConfig
     section to match the relay setting specified in the prior step.
