SMTP relay

[devham]

I have been setting more and more users up with Office 365 as most of my customers are under 10 users.

I was wondering what people are using to relay email for things such as printers or voicemail systems?

You can use Office 365 to relay emails:

As cyabro mentioned, I just use the built in O365 tools. For scanners, I'll set the scanner up with an O365 account, something like CSO-S01@domain.onmicrosoft.com. That account is free and you can send email to internal users. Kind of stupid if you think about it, sending a scanned document 20ft across the office needs to go out to the MS datacenters and back... but it works!

Just setup a connector within their O365 tenant ....you can create several different types...see link Cyabro put up.

Perfect. Thanks guys. I guess I wasn't looking in the right spots... I had it in my head that for some reason I needed to have SSL enabled and some of the older devices don't support that.

We use HMAIL to relay from our DMZ to O365. Specifically, we have a firewall rule to pass traffic from the Inside to DMZ then from the DMZ to O365

Like above, when your device is able to connect to office365 that's great - when you have a much dumber device, like no SSL, etc - we always had a sendgrid account that we would connect devices to.

(same as mailgun probably)

We have our own "built it ourselves" *nix based SMTP servers (2 of them)...we can turn to, if needed by legacy devices. We use these servers for our clients Exchange servers outbound SMTP.
