Solution

You can configure the product to send alerts to the administrator by
e-mail. F-Secure Management Agent that handles the alerting uses a
simple SMTP protocol (without authentication and encryption) to send
alerts to the specified e-mail address.
The product can send e-mail based reports to F-Secure World Map
system. These reports are sent using the simple SMTP protocol with an
empty address ("<>") as the source.
In Microsoft Exchange Server 2007, the message relaying is tightly
restricted, even on servers that are not connected to the Internet. By
default, only e-mail messages that come from authenticated or allowed
sources can be relayed.
This means that the product cannot send SMTP alerts and reports unless
some changes are done in the Microsoft Exchange Server 2007
configuration. These changes can be done before or after the product has
been deployed.
In order to make F-Secure alerts and reports relayed through Microsoft
Exchange Server 2007, you need to create a special receive connector
configure it to allow anonymous, non-authenticated submissions. This
connector has to be created on Exchange Edge and/or Hub server(s) that
are specified as the SMTP server where the product sends alerts and
reports to.
