How To Set Up A Mail Connector

Setting up a Microsoft Mail Connector creates a direct connection between CyberPilot’s phishing email servers and your Microsoft email environment.

This helps ensure simulation emails are delivered directly to your users’ inboxes -bypassing other security tools that might block them.

Let's get started:

Step 1: Create the Mail Connector 

  1. Go to the Exchange Admin Center 
  2. Click Mail flow - Connectors 

    Step1
  3. Click Add a connector 

    Step3
  4. Choose Partner organization and click Next 

    Step4
  5. Name the connector (e.g., CyberPilot phishing simulation) and click Next

    Step5
     
  6. Choose By verifying the IP address

    Step 6
    1. Enter each of the IP addresses below, clicking + after each one 
      3.75.105.111
      3.77.162.184
      3.120.101.167
      35.159.187.97
    2. Click Next

       
  1. Click Next, then Create connector, and finally Done 

    Step7



Step 2: Send Us Your MX Records 

  1. Go to the Microsoft Admin Portal 
  2. Click Settings > Domains 

    Step2-1-2
  3. Click your domain 
  4. Go to DNS records > MX 

    Step2-3
  5. Copy the MX value for your domain (e.g., yourcompany-com.mail.protection.outlook.com) 

    Step2-5
  6. Repeat for all domains used by your users 
  7. Email the domain(s) and MX value(s) to your Customer Success Manager 

 

Example: 

"cyberpilot.io" & "cyberpilot-io.mail.protection.outlook.com" "cyberpilot.dk" & "cyberpilot-dk.mail.protection.outlook.com" 



 

Step 3: Test the Setup 

  1. Log in to the CyberPilot Platform
  2. Go to Phishing > Campaigns
  3. Click the … next to the relevant simulation
  4. Click Send a test email
  5. Fill in your name (this will populate name fields in the email)
  6. Click Send and check your inbox for the test email 



Step 4: Confirm Success 

Once you’ve received the test email successfully, let your Customer Success Manager know that the setup is complete. 



Step 5: Remove the Mail Connector after simulation completion 

After your phishing simulation is finished, remember to remove the mail connector. This restores your email security settings to their previous state.
