Configure the Edge Transport server role

The Exchange Edge Transport role is responsible for handling mail flow from and to your organization and can be used to secure messages sent to and received from the Internet. In addition to routing messages, you can apply rules, configure settings, and enforce limits on messages as they pass through the servers in your environment. Transport agents can be used to provide basic anti-spam protection, and both the roles implement detailed logging capabilities that can be leveraged from the shell.

The Edge Transport role was reintroduced in Exchange 2013 Service Pack 1 (CU4). In this recipe, we will take a look on how to install the Edge Transport role and how to configure the Edge subscription.
