Currently, since WFBS' mail sending does not support TLS, users cannot directly set Office 365 as the SMTP server on SMTP settings. However, OfficeScan/Apex One has a workaround to resolve this compatibility issue. The workaround is to implement the SMTP relay as local SMTP server.

For more information, refer to the KB article: Integrating OfficeScan/Apex One with Office 365 hosted email service.

If the user wants to verify this, check if you can connect to the Office 365's SMTP server first.

telnet smtp.office365.com 587
