Explanation
When a Cisco ESA receives outbound email from an internal mail server like Microsoft Exchange, the Mail Flow Policy connection behavior must be set to 'Relay.' This tells the ESA to accept messages from the trusted internal host and forward (relay) them onward to external destinations. 'Accept' (B) is used for inbound mail destined for local domains and does not permit relaying to outside domains. 'Reject' (D) refuses connections, and 'Delay' (A) is not a standard ESA Mail Flow Policy connection behavior for this purpose.
