G DATA Mail Protection

Connectors

On-premises Exchange servers require a connector to enable inbound and outbound mail flow on the Exchange server and between services in the transport pipeline.
Microsoft Online generally no longer uses these connectors. After setting up their Tenant, administrators can add a domain for which mailboxes can be created immediately. To receive email, administrators then only need to point the MX record to the Office 365 environment. No changes are required to send email, since all mailboxes can send directly.
Administrators must create connectors whenever they want to customize email routing or provide preferential handling for specific senders.
Office 365 therefore also provides the option to configure these connectors.

Microsoft Graph API

Microsoft Graph API (application programming interface) is an interface provided by Microsoft for controlled access to data and information in Microsoft 365.

MX Record

MX stands for Mail Exchange. The MX record provides a querying mail server with information via DNS about the IP address at which a mail server can be reached.

Rescan

Each email forwarded to the recipient’s mailbox is checked again in that mailbox at irregular intervals for several days.

Certificate

A digital certificate is an electronic credential generally issued by a certificate authority. Certificates are comparable to identity documents. A certificate allows a public key to be securely associated with a specific owner. A certificate may contain information about the owner, a password, a domain, the certificate issuer, and the certificate’s validity period.
You can also create a certificate yourself (a self-signed public certificate).
The certificate required for our G DATA Mail Protection secures access to your Microsoft Exchange Online.
