Use Edge Transport servers to handle message delivery. If you have Edge Transport servers in your organization, you can choose to configure the Edge Transport servers to handle message delivery and connect with the EOP service in your %BRAND_OFFICE_365_SHORT% organization. In this configuration, a Receive connector is configured on your on-premises Edge Transport servers to accept secure inbound connections from the EOP service in your %BRAND_OFFICE_365_SHORT% organization. Additionally, a Send connector is configured on your on-premises Edge Transport servers to initiate outbound connections to the EOP service in your %BRAND_OFFICE_365_SHORT% organization. Together, these two connectors help to enable secure bi-directional mail transport between the on-premises %BRAND_EXCHANGE_ONLINE_SHORT% servers and %BRAND_EXCHANGE_ONLINE_SHORT% Online.
