Note this works for the public beta and is subject to change

This assumes that your domain is domain.com and WSF is the domain specific to Sharepoint, everything that is RED is a value you need to set

· Configure Address Space in Exchange

New-AcceptedDomain –Domainname WSF.Domain.com –domaintype ExternalRelay –name WSF.Domain.com

· Configure Foreign Connector with drop folder

  • Mkdir “C:\Drop Directory\WSF”
  • New-ForeignConnector -Name "WSF Connector" -AddressSpaces "smtp:WSF.domain.com" -SourceTransportServers "Hub01","Hub02"
  • Set-TransportServer Hub01 -RootDropDirectoryPath "C:\Drop Directory"
  • Set-ForeignConnector "WSF Connector" -DropDirectory "WSF"

· Configure WSF to use drop folder

  • Start –> All Programs –> MS SP 2010 Prod –> SP 2010 Central Admin
  • System Settings –> Configure incoming e-mail Settings
  • Enable Sites on this server to receive e-mail = yes

One thought on “Configure Send email to Sharepoint on SBS 2011–Preview”

  1. I tried these instructions in the RTM version of SBS 2011 and at first could not get this work. Here is what I figured out:
    You must give the spfarm and Network Service accounts full control to the WSF directory. You must also choose the option to save original email on the Incoming Email Settings page on the Document Library settings. After I did that email to SharePoint worked.
