SMTP on Exchange Server 2016
An on-prem Exchange Server 2016 is setup to receive SMTP emails from some in-house applications. The intention is to re-configure the in-house applications to use a cloud service instead of the on-premises Exchange server. Is there a way I can get a report or check what SMTP activity the Exchange server is working with? Once I have this, I can identify apps that are talking to it and then re-configure those to use a cloud service.
- Best option is to review the logs in the SmtpReceive folder on each Exchange server and review the list of IP addresses that are making connections. If you're using a load balancer you'll need to review the logs on that as well. There's a couple of scripts available that can go through the logs and pull out individual IP addresses to create a CSV. SmtpLogReview.ps1 is one of them
