How to use on-premis smtp relay name with office365

My pleasure!

If you want some redundancy, what I normally suggest is to spin up a second Exchange 2016 server and add the same connector. If you needed to flip over to it, you could change your internal smtp dns entry to point to the IP of the backup.
HI Peter,
Thank you so much for your information. Yes, I can do that. One more question.
How do we set up redundancy for SMTP Relay? We have one Exchange 2016 Server and Windows AD servers in Azure. So if this server goes down, how we handle the notification emails from our devices and applications?
I think allowing on-premise SMTP traffic to AWS is not a good idea.

PeterRising Hi Peter,
Are you recommend to set up this Exchange 2016 server in on-premise or Cloud ( AWS)
if it is in AWS, can I use the free Exchange License?
