Setting Up Connections to Other Sites and Systems

As mentioned earlier, you can install three connectors (Microsoft Mail Connector, X.400 Connector, and the Microsoft Exchange Connector for Lotus cc:Mail) during Setup.

After you install Microsoft Exchange Server, you can configure additional connectors to connect sites within a Microsoft Exchange Server organization and connect Microsoft Exchange Server to foreign systems. The following table describes the connectors that you can use with Microsoft Exchange Server.

Connector	Description
Site Connector	Provides the simplest mechanism for connecting two Microsoft Exchange Server sites in an organization.
Dynamic RAS Connector	Can be configured to connect sites if a permanent network connection is unavailable.
Internet Mail Service	Can be configured to connect sites within an organization or route messages to the Internet.
X.400 Connector	Can be configured to connect sites within an organization or to route messages to foreign X.400 systems. The X.400 Connector conforms to the 1984 and 1988 International Telegraph and Telephone Consultative Committee (CCITT) X.400 standards. This connector is available only with the Enterprise Edition of Microsoft Exchange Server.
Microsoft Exchange Connector for Lotus cc:Mail	Provides message transfer and directory synchronization between Microsoft Exchange Server and Lotus cc:Mail systems.
