Page 45: Part V Technical Support
Note: These suggestions only apply if you are using your own, physical Exchange server! Microsoft’s hosted “Office365” service is not compatible with the PDU at this time, as Office365 requires a Start-TLS connection rather than a fully-encrypted connection, and the PDU does not currently support Start-TLS connections. © 2014 Geist... - Page 46 SMTP authentication and mail-relaying permissions correctly. If none of the above suggestions succeed in allowing your Geist PDU to send mail through your Exchange server, then you may need to contact Microsoft’s technical support for further assistance in configuring your Exchange server to allow SMTP e- mails to be sent from a 3rd-party, non-Windows device through your network.
