Parameters

Parameter Required Type Description

IPAddress

Required

System.Net.IPAddress

The IPAddress parameter specifies the originating IP address of the sending server.

PurportedResponsibleDomain

Required

Microsoft.Exchange.Data.SmtpDomain

The PurportedResponsibleDomain parameter specifies the domain name that you want to verify with Sender ID.

Confirm

Optional

System.Management.Automation.SwitchParameter

The Confirm switch causes the command to pause processing and requires you to acknowledge what the command will do before processing continues. You don't have to specify a value with the Confirm switch.

DomainController

Optional

Microsoft.Exchange.Data.Fqdn

The DomainController parameter specifies the fully qualified domain name (FQDN) of the domain controller that retrieves data from Active Directory.

HelloDomain

System.String

The HelloDomain parameter specifies the domain address displayed in the HELO or EHLO SMTP commands from this sender.

The Server parameter specifies the Exchange server on which you want to run this command. You can use any value that uniquely identifies the server. For example:

If you don't use the Server parameter, the command is run on the local server.

WhatIf
