Like Exchange 2007 & 2010, Send Connectors in Exchange Server 2010 is to route the internal emails to internet\external domain.

To route emails via DNS, select “MX record associated with recipient domain” and
To Route emails via smart host, select “Route mail through smart hosts” and you have to specify the smart host IP address
Next option is to select the Address Space. Using Address Space, we are configuring the send to route emails only to allowed emails domain.
