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.
