Recently I try to setup a Auto reply rule on one of our outlook clients, and noticed that all rules are working except for the ones that requires
forwarding and auto reply, I found out that default a exchange 2010 don’t allow both forwarding and autoreplying. you can enable it here

Exchange 2010 – Single Common Name SSL Certificate

You can use a SRV record for exchange Autodiscover services, just create a srv record named:
Service: _autodiscover Protocol: _tcp Port Number: 443 Host: [Hostname of the server]
Eg.
Host: _autodiscover._tcp.kasperk.it, Port 443, host: mail.kasperk.it
source: http://support.microsoft.com/kb/940881
You can test the configuration here: https://www.testexchangeconnectivity.com/ choosing Outlook Autodiscover
1. Open Exchange System Manager
2. Select [ServerName], click Protocols, and then click SMTP.
3. Right-click the Default SMTP Virtual Server object, and click Properties.
4. Click the Delivery tab
5. Click Advanced
6. Inset the hostname off the smarthost/relay server
Change Outbound Port:
1. Click Outbound connections
2. Change TCP port to 26
Here is how you change det Listening port on Exchange 2003
Change Receive Port:
1. Open Exchange System Manager
2. Select [ServerName], click Protocols, and then click SMTP.
3. Right-click the Default SMTP Virtual Server object, and click Properties.
4. On the General tab, click the Advanced button, click the Edit button.
5. Change the port number to port 26
When you try to open the Exchange Management Console this error occurre:
The following error occurre while attempting to connect to the specified Exchange server sbs2011.domain.local
The attempt to connect to http://sbs2011.domain.local/
Fix:
just run iisreset from cmd
Some smarthost providers/smtp relay servers will only allow you to connect to ports other than port 25 or your ISP is blocking outgoing port 25.
In both cases you have to change the SendConnector port, this can’t be done in the exchange management console, so you have to use the Exchange Managment Shell.
List SendConnectors and port nummers:
Get-SendConnector | ft Id*,Sm*s,po*
Change the port for SendConnector:
Set-SendConnector "[SendConnector name]" -port [Port nummer]
eg:
Set-SendConnector “OutboundMail” -port 3535
