 * 2) Uninstall the gateway component.
 * 3) Configure the Internet Mail Connector for Exchange Server.
 * 4) Install the access component on the downstream post office and point it to the Exchange shadow post office.

To configure the Internet Mail Connector as the SMTP gateway for MS Mail users, perform the following steps:
