Description
Delivery agent connectors are used to route messages addressed to foreign systems that don't use the SMTP protocol. When a message is routed to a delivery agent connector, the associated delivery agent performs the content conversion and message delivery. Delivery agent connectors allow queue management of foreign connectors, thereby eliminating the need for storing messages on the file system in Drop and Pickup directories. For more information, see Delivery agents and Delivery Agent connectors.
You need to be assigned permissions before you can run this cmdlet. Although this article lists all parameters for the cmdlet, you might not have access to some parameters if they aren't included in the permissions assigned to you. To find the permissions required to run any cmdlet or parameter in your organization, see Find the permissions required to run any Exchange cmdlet.
Examples
Example 1
Set-DeliveryAgentConnector "Contoso X.400 Connector" -MaxMessageSize 10MB -MaxMessagesPerConnection 100 -MaxConcurrentConnections 10
This example configures restrictions on the delivery agent connector Contoso X.400 Connector. It makes the following configuration changes:
Sets the maximum message size allowed through the connector to 10 MB.
Sets the maximum number of messages allowed per connection to 100.
Sets the maximum concurrent connections to 10.
Example 2
$ConnectorConfig = Get-DeliveryAgentConnector "Contoso X.400 Connector"
$ConnectorConfig.AddressSpaces += "X400:c=US;p=Fabrikam;a=Contoso;o=Sales;1"
$ConnectorConfig.SourceTransportServers += Hub04; Set-DeliveryAgentConnector "Contoso X.400 Connector" -AddressSpaces $ConnectorConfig.AddressSpaces -SourceTransportServers $ConnectorConfig.SourceTransportServers
This example uses the temporary variable $ConnectorConfig to add the address space c=US;p=Fabrikam;a=Contoso;o=Sales to the delivery agent connector Contoso X.400 Connector and also adds the server Hub04 to the list of servers that host the connector.
Parameters
-AddressSpaces
Applicable: Exchange Server 2010, Exchange Server 2013, Exchange Server 2016, Exchange Server 2019, Exchange Server SE
The AddressSpaces parameter specifies the domain names that the delivery agent connector is responsible for. The complete syntax for entering an address space is: AddressSpaceType:AddressSpace;AddressSpaceCost. Enclose each address space in quotation marks (").
Parameter properties
| Type: | MultiValuedProperty |

| Value from remaining arguments: | False |
-Comment
Applicable: Exchange Server 2010, Exchange Server 2013, Exchange Server 2016, Exchange Server 2019, Exchange Server SE
The Comment parameter specifies an optional comment. If you specify a value that contains spaces, enclose the value in quotation marks ("), for example: "This is an admin note".

-Confirm
Applicable: Exchange Server 2010, Exchange Server 2013, Exchange Server 2016, Exchange Server 2019, Exchange Server SE
The Confirm switch specifies whether to show or hide the confirmation prompt. How this switch affects the cmdlet depends on if the cmdlet requires confirmation before proceeding.
- Destructive cmdlets (for example, Remove-* cmdlets) have a built-in pause that forces you to acknowledge the command before proceeding. For these cmdlets, you can skip the confirmation prompt by using this exact syntax:
-Confirm:$false. - Most other cmdlets (for example, New-* and Set-* cmdlets) don't have a built-in pause. For these cmdlets, specifying the Confirm switch without a value introduces a pause that forces you acknowledge the command before proceeding.
