Check Text
Review the Email Domain Security Plan (EDSP) or document that contains this information.
Determine the Connection Timeout value.
Open the Exchange Management Shell and enter the following command:
Get-SendConnector | Select Name, Identity, ConnectionInactivityTimeOut
For each Send connector, if the value of "ConnectionInactivityTimeOut" is not set to "00:10:00", this is a finding.
or
If "ConnectionInactivityTimeOut" is set to a value other than "00:10:00" and has signoff and risk acceptance in the EDSP, this is not a finding.
Fix Text
Update the EDSP to specify the "ConnectionInactivityTimeOut" value.
Open the Exchange Management Shell and enter the following command:
Set-SendConnector -Identity <'IdentityName'> -ConnectionInactivityTimeOut 00:10:00
Note: The <IdentityName> value must be in single quotes.
or
Enter the value as identified by the EDSP that has obtained a signoff with risk acceptance.
