ExchangeIntegration
If you are running Exchange and Hexamail Server on the same machine use this setting to automatically have Exchange settings modified ready to run with Hexamail Server.
Your existing Exchange settings will be recorded and restored if you uninstall Hexamail Server. The settings changed are: Protocols/SMTP/Default SMTP server/Bindings, Protocols/SMTP/Default SMTP server/Delivery/Smarthost

Login Username
If the service is running as a System service (default) you need to specify a login username that has access to Active Directory.
This login is typically the one you use to logon to the Active Directory machine as administrator.
Be sure to include the domain in the username, e.g. the user Adminsitrator in the domain 'YourDomain' would be specified: YourDomain\Administrator
Login Password
If the service is running as a System service (default) you need to specify a login password for the username that has access to Active Directory.
This login is typically the one you use to logon to the Active Directory machine as adminsitrator.
This password is sent and stored using strong encryption by the service.
Modify Exchange Settings
Use this button to force the modification of the Exchange settings. In addition, Exchange settings are updated every time Hexamail is reconfigured.
Mail Server
Enter your existing mail server host name or IP Address and port (usually 25) into the appropriate boxes. Use the Test Connection button to get the application to make a test connection to your mail server, verifying that the mail server is accessible to Hexamail and that the configuration is correct.
Use SSL/TLS or STARTTLS to encrypt if when the server supports it. SSL/TLS is an encrypted connection to the server usually on port 587 or 465.
STARTTLS connects unencrypted and then triggers an encrypted session using the STARTTLS command. This is usually on port 25 or 587. Use the STARTTLS setting to ensure STARTTLS is used IF the remote server
advertises STARTTLS support. If set to STARTTLS Required then the email will be failed for recipient(s) on the server(s) that do not advertise/support STARTTLS in their greeting response to the SMTP EHLO command.
