Using XG as spam filter and email encryption for Office 365

Jose,

in order to get email scanned via XG, you have to make sure you are on v16. You can redirect mail to XG with no issue and SPX is also available when XG is acting in MTA mode.

Thanks for that fast answer Luk,

excellent, I just had the "miss-perception" that the MTA, spam filter and SPX worked only if the email server is in the LAN or DMZ.

Jose,

have a look at this thread:

Hi Jose, I just wanted to follow up with this and see if you got this working?  I'm toying with the idea of switch our filter over to the XG and we use Office 365.  What I can't figure out is you can't add a fqdn host in the route to or in the relay settings.  I can resolve the IP off the Office 365 server based on pinging our MX record, but just wonder if that ever changes?  I can't imagine we have a dedicated server for our O365 instance.  Anyway, any info you have on that would be great.  Also if you have any issue or anything doing it this way.

Thanks
