SMTP Send connectors are configured on computers that are running Microsoft Exchange Server 2007 and that have Hub Transport and Edge Transport server roles installed. The Smtp Send Connector represents a logical gateway through which outbound messages are sent.

Using this test, you can periodically observe the traffic conducted by the Send connectors.

 The measures made by this test are as follows:
