A Foreign connector uses a Drop directory on a Hub Transport server to send messages to a local messaging server that doesn't use the Simple Mail Transfer Protocol (SMTP) as its primary transport mechanism. These messaging servers are known as foreign gateway servers. Third-party fax gateway servers are examples of foreign gateway servers. The address spaces that are assigned to a Foreign connector can be SMTP or non-SMTP.
You can use the following Exchange Management Shell cmdlets to modify the configuration settings of Foreign connectors:
- Get-ForeignConnector
(RTM)
- New-ForeignConnector
(RTM)
- Remove-ForeignConnector
(RTM)
- Set-ForeignConnector
(RTM)
