20. 1. FET accepts initial SMTP conversation
if source passes connection filtering
2. FET determines the recipient
type/location via hub selector
3. Proxies the message to the
appropriate destination
1. MBX 2013 determines if mail recipient
is a remote destination and selects a
FET within local site if the
FrontEndProxyEnabled parameter on
Send Connector is set to $true
2. MBX 2013 connects to FET and
initiates SMTP conversation
3. FET proxies outbound connection to
appropriate destination
