Send connectors:



Hub Role doesnot install with a send connector.Send connector need to be created for outbound if there is no Edge server.Send connector are used to enforce TLS between remote servers.Send connector can be used to route outbound mail through a smarthost.
Organisational configuration->Send connector.


Receive Connectors:



The default receive connectors only allow internal delivery.

A receive connector will have to be created if there is no edge server.

Recieve connectors can be created to handle TLS connectons from remote servers.

Unlike send connectors,receive connectors are server based.

Server configuration->Hub transport->recieve connector.



Queue viewer:



Queue viewer is found in the ToolBox.

Queues are no longer kept as individual files in a folder, but in an ESE database.

You can Get-queue and Get-message cmdlets in the EMS to manipulate queues and messages.

Powershell commands:Get-message ! list,get-command *message*

Very useful command to delete queue ->remove-message -filter {fromaddress -eg confirmation@ecc.com} -withNDR $false

without non delivery all message will remove from that particular filter email.

Remove-Message –withndr $false will remove all messages in the queue
