The Edge Transport server role:
What Is the Edge Transport Server Role?
The Edge Transport server role provides:
Internet message delivery
Antivirus and anti-spam protection
Edge transport rules
Address rewriting
Cannot be deployed with any other server role
Should not be a member of the internal Active Directory domain
Should be deployed in a perimeter network
The Edge Transport server role provides a SMTP gateway that can be used for messaging securityThe Edge Transport server role provides a SMTP gateway that can be used for messaging security
Infrastructure Requirements for the Edge Transport Server Role
The Edge Transport server:
Must be configured with a Fully Qualified Domain Name
Requires a minimal number of ports opened on the internal and external firewalls
Must be configured with the IP addresses for DNS servers that can resolve DNS names on the Internet
What Is AD LDS?
AD LDS on an Edge Transport server stores:
Schema information
Configuration information
Recipient information
AD LDS is an LDAP directory service that stores information for directory-enabled applicationsAD LDS is an LDAP directory service that stores information for directory-enabled applications
You can use the Exchange Server 2010 tools to perform most of the AD LDS configuration tasksYou can use the Exchange Server 2010 tools to perform most of the AD LDS configuration tasks
Demonstration: How to Configure Edge Transport Servers
In this demonstration, you will review the Edge Transport server default configuration
What Is Edge Synchronization?
Edge synchronization replicates Active Directory information to AD LDS on Edge Transport serversEdge synchronization replicates Active Directory information to AD LDS on Edge Transport servers
Edge synchronization:
Includes configuration and recipient information
Synchronizes only changes to the Edge Transport server
Is always initiated by Hub Transport servers

• Enable Edge Synchronization
• Test Edge Synchronization
What Is Cloned Configuration?
To implement cloned configuration, use the:
ExportEdgeConfig script to export configuration information
ImportEdgeConfig script to validate the configuration on the target server, and then create an answer file
ImportEdgeConfig script to import configuration information
Cloned configuration is a process of configuring multiple Edge Transport servers with identical configurationsCloned configuration is a process of configuring multiple Edge Transport servers with identical configurations
If you use any transport rules, ensure that you copy them separately by using the Export-TransportRuleCollection cmdletIf you use any transport rules, ensure that you copy them separately by using the Export-TransportRuleCollection cmdlet

• Client
• Exchange server
• Maintain regular antivirus updates
Demonstration: How to Install and Configure Forefront Protection 2010 for Exchange Server
In this demonstration, you will see how to:

Estimated time: 45 minutes
Lab Scenario
You are a messaging administrator in A. Datum Corporation, which is a large multinational organization. Your organization has deployed Exchange Server 2010 internally, and it now wants to extend it so that everybody can send and receive Internet email.
As part of your job responsibilities, you need to set up an Edge Transport server, and then install an antivirus solution to scan all mail.
Lab Review
• When you implement new certificates on your existing Edge Transport server, what do you need to consider?
• Does Forefront Protection 2010 for Exchange Server scan the message multiple times when it is passed over Edge Transport and Hub Transport servers?
Lesson 3: Deploying an Anti-Spam Solution
• Overview of Spam-Filtering Features
• How Exchange Server 2010 Applies Spam Filters
• What Is Sender ID Filtering?
• What Is Sender Reputation Filtering?
• What Is Content Filtering?
• Demonstration: How to Configure Anti-Spam Options
Overview of Spam-Filtering Features
Feature Filters messages based on:
Connection Filtering
The IP address of the sending SMTP server
Content Filtering The message contents
Sender ID The IP address of the sending server from which the message was received
Sender Filtering The Sender in the MAIL FROM: SMTP header
Recipient Filtering The Recipients in the RCPT TO: SMTP header
Sender Reputation Several characteristics of the sender, accumulated over a period of time
Attachment Filtering
Attachment file name, file name extension, or file MIME content type

You can configure it to:
• Reject messages and issue an nondelivery report (NDR)
• Delete messages without sending an NDR
• Stamp the messages with the SenderID result, and continue processing

What Is Sender Reputation Filtering?
The Protocol Analysis agent assigns an SRL that is based on:
• Sender open proxy test
• HELO/EHLO analysis
• Reverse DNS lookup
• Analysis of SCL ratings on messages from a particular sender
Sender Reputation filtering filters messages based on information about recent email messages received from specific senders
Sender Reputation filtering filters messages based on information about recent email messages received from specific senders
What Is Content Filtering?
You can configure content filtering to:
• Delete, reject, or quarantine messages that exceed an SCL value
• Block or allow messages based on a custom word list
• Allow exceptions so that messages sent to specified recipients are not filtered
Content Filtering analyzes the content of each email message and assigns an SCL to the messageContent Filtering analyzes the content of each email message and assigns an SCL to the message

SMTP Email Security Options
Protocol Layer Purpose
IPSec Network-based Encrypts server-to-server or client-to-server traffic
VPN Network-based Encrypts site-to-site traffic
TLS Session-based Encrypts server-to-server traffic
S/MIME Client-based Encrypts client side email and enables digital signing
SMTP email can be additionally secured by using authentication and authorization on the SMTP connectorSMTP email can be additionally secured by using authentication and authorization on the SMTP connector
Demonstration: How to Configure SMTP Security
In this demonstration, you will see how to:
• Configure an externally secured SMTP Connector
• Configure an SMTP Connector that requires TLS and authentication
What Is Domain Security?
To set up mutual TLS:
• Generate a certificate request for TLS certificates
• Import and enable the certificate on the Edge Transport server
• Configure outbound Domain Security
• Configure inbound Domain Security
Uses mutual TLS with business partners to enable secured message paths over the InternetUses mutual TLS with business partners to enable secured message paths over the Internet

• Verify certificate and check Receive connector
• Configure Domain Security
How S/MIME Works
Method Type of Security Provided
Digital signatures Authentication: The message was sent by the person or organization who claims to have sent it
Nonrepudiation: Helps to prevent the sender from disowning the message
Data integrity: Any alteration of the message invalidates the signature
Message encryption Only the intended recipient can view the contents
S/MIME Infrastructure requirements:
• The sender must have a valid certificate installed
• All target addresses must have a public certificate available either locally or in Active Directory
• Can use either an internal or public CA
Lab B: Implementing Anti-Spam Solutions
