A SharePoint farm includes two front-end web servers, one application server, and two clustered servers
that run Microsoft SQL Server. The SharePoint Foundation Web Application service is not running on the
application server.
You plan to configure the SharePoint farm to receive and store email messages and email message
attachments in libraries.
You need to ensure that users can send email messages and attachments directly to libraries across the
entire farm. You must accomplish this goal by using the least amount of effort.
Which two actions should you perform? (Each correct answer presents part of the solution. Choose
two.)

two ways. You can install the SMTP service on one or more servers in the farm, or administrators can
provide an email drop folder for email that is forwarded from the service on another server.
* If you are not using a drop folder for email, the SMTP service must be installed on every front-end web
server in the farm that you want to configure for incoming email.
F (not D):
* The basic scenario applies to a single-server farm environment and is recommended if you want to use
default settings. The advanced scenario applies to a single-server farm or a multiple-server farm and
contains several advanced options from which to choose
