What should you configure?

Your network contains a server named Server1 that has Microsoft SharePoint Foundation 2010
installed. You configure Server1 to receive email by using the Automatic settings mode. You discover
that the email enabled libraries on Server1 receive email from unauthorized SMTP servers. You need
to ensure that Server1 only accepts email from authorized SMTP servers. What should you
configure?

A.
From the settings of the libraries, modify the permissions.

B.
From the settings of the libraries, modify the incoming email settings.

C.
From Central Administration, modify the incoming email settings.

D.
From Central Administration, modify the list of approved distribution groups.

Explanation:
To configure incoming email in an advanced scenario
1. Verify that you have the following administrative credentials:
– You must be a member of the Administrators group on the computer that is running the

SharePoint Central Administration Web site.
2. In Central Administration, click System Settings.
3. On the System Settings page, in the Email and Text Messages (SMS) section, click
Configure incoming email settings.
4. If you want to enable sites on this server to receive email, on the Configure Incoming
Email Settings page, in the Enable Incoming Email section, click Yes.
5. Select the Advanced settings mode.
If you select Advanced, you can specify a drop folder instead of using an SMTP server.
6. If you want to connect to Directory Management Service, in the Directory Management Service
section, click Yes.If you select this option, you must first configure Active Directory Domain Services
(AD DS). If you use Exchange Server, you must also configure the DNS Manager and add an SMTP
connector. For more information, see the “Configure AD DS to be used with Directory Management
Service”, “Configure DNS Manager”, and “Add an SMTP connector in Exchange Server 2010” sections
later in this article.
a. In the Active Directory container where new distribution groups and contacts will be created box,
type the name of the container in the format OU=ContainerName, DC= domain, DC=com, where
ContainerName is the name of the OU in AD DS, domain is the second-level domain, and com is the
toplevel domain.
b. In the SMTP mail server for incoming mail box, type the name of the SMTP mail server. The server
name must match the FQDN in the A resource record entry for the mail server in DNS Manager.
c. To accept only messages from authenticated users, click Yes for Accept messages from
authenticated users only. Otherwise, click No.
d. To enable users to create distribution groups from SharePoint sites, click Yes for Allow creation of
distribution groups from SharePoint sites . Otherwise, click No.
e. Under Distribution group request approval settings , select the actions that will require approval.
Actions include the following:
– Create new distribution group
– Change distribution group email address
– Change distribution group title and description
– Delete distribution group
7. If you want to use a remote Directory Management Service, select Use remote. If you select this
option and you are using Exchange Server, you must configure the DNS Manager and add an SMTP
connector. For more information, see the “Configure DNS
Manager” and “Add an SMTP connector in Exchange Server 2010” sections later in this article. The
AD DS has most likely already been configured, so you do not need to do this. a. In the Directory
Management Service URL box, type the URL of the Directory Management Service that you want to
use. The URL is typically in the following format: http://server:adminport/_vti_bin/
SharePointEmailWS.asmx.
b. In the SMTP mail server for incoming mail box, type the name of the SMTP mail server. The server
name must match the FQDN in the A resource record entry for the mail server in DNS Manager on
the domain server. c. To accept messages from authenticated users only, click Yes for Accept
messages from authenticated users only. Otherwise, click No.
d. To allow creation of distribution groups from SharePoint sites, click Yes for Allow creation of
distribution groups from SharePoint sites. Otherwise, click No.
8. If you do not want to use Directory Management Service, click No.
9. In the Incoming Email Server Display Address section, in the Email server display address box, type
a display name for the email server (for example, mail.fabrikam.com). You typically use this option
together with the Directory Management Service.

10. In the Email Drop Folder section, in the Email drop folder box, type the name of the folder from
which SharePoint 2010 Timer service retrieves incoming email from the SMTP service. If you select
this option, ensure that you configure the necessary permissions to the email drop folder. For more
information, see the “Configure permissions to the email drop folder” section later in this article. It is
useful to have a dedicated email drop folder if the default email drop folder is full or almost full.
Ensure that the logon account for the SharePoint 2010 Timer service has Modify permissions on the
email drop folder. For more information, see “To configure email drop folder permissions for the
logon account for the SharePoint 2010 Timer service” procedure later in this article.
11. In the Safe Email Servers section, select whether you want to accept email from all email servers
or from several specified email servers
12. Click OK.
