Does Email Gateway Works As a SMTP Server For Itself?

I was wondering if Email Gateway Add-on has it's own SMTP Server engine or if it uses a existing SMTP Server.

If it uses a existing SMTP server how does it work?

I couldn't find info about this.

The Mail Gateway does not have its own SMTP server.  Instead, it works with existing mail systems be either connecting to its own mailbox over POP3/IMAP, or it can read messages from a spool/queue directory on the filesystem.  Some SMTP servers, like the IIS Virtual SMTP Server, can simply write all the messages it gets to a folder, and then Mail Gateway can grab them from there.

Ken,

Thank you for your answer. It was what I need do know.

Will the CS mail gateway connect to Google Apps for your Domain (or any other SMTP server that uses SSL or TLS)?

 If so, how would I configure it to use SSL? And where do you specify the port number? Thanks.
