As a consultant I often test SMTP connectors on Exchange.
There are several ways of doing this. There is the good old way of using telnet, ExchangePro has a great article describing the Telnet way of testing you SMTP connection:
The other way of testing if a SMTP connector works on Exchange (2007/2010), could be using PowerShell. In PowerShell 2.0 there is a builtin cmdlet cmdlet: Send-MailMessage
You can run the following command in PowerShell to do some mail testing:
Send-MailMessage –From [email protected] –To [email protected] –Subject “Test Email” –Body “Test E-mail (body)” -SmtpServer smtpserver.fqdndomain.local
This only works for PowerShell V2, since the command is now builtin.
The downside to Send-MailMessage is there is no output/feedback. With Telnet, you see all SMTP responses step by step.
For instance, if you want to test if a sender or domain is accepted at the gateway.
$SMTPSvr = ‘smtpserver.fqdndomain.local’
$from = ‘[email protected]’
$to = ‘[email protected]’
#testing connection to server:
Test-NetConnection $SMTPSvr -port 25
Send-MailMessage –From $from –To $to –Subject “Test Email” –Body “Test E-mail (body)” -SmtpServer $SMTPSvr
Fantastic! Their SMTP Relay Exchange Connector accepted some users but not a mailing list.
PS D:\> Send-MailMessage -from [email protected] -to [email protected] -subject “test Powershell” -Body
“Test Powersehll conenction to Exchange Connector” -smtpserver 10.11.12.13
PS D:\> Send-MailMessage -from [email protected] -to [email protected] -subject “test Powershell
” -Body “Test Powersehll conenction to Exchange Connector” -smtpserver 10.11.12.13
Send-MailMessage : Mailbox unavailable. The server response was: 5.1.1 User unknown

Hi,
How test a Hub Transport – Send Connector?
My request is Connect SAP with Exchange 2010.
I read the post:
http://prajeeshpc.blogspot.com/2011/07/how-to-configure-connectivity-between.html
My SAP is redy for the port 25000, i test telnet.
Please help me.
Hi
You need to make sure, the Connector you are creating, is communicating on Port 25000. Have you gone through the steps (from your link):
Configure send Connector with proper destination SMTP port.
1. Go to EMS from Exchange server 2010.
2. From Shell type below command and press enter.
Note choose the
Get-SendConnector -identity Connector_to_SAP |Set-SendConnector -port 2500
