From what I've read, this is dependent on the PermissionGroups attribute of the SMTP Receive Connector. By default, the one on the Hub Transport server is set for ExchangeUsers,ExchangeServers,ExchangeLegacyServers,Custom (run "get-receiveconnector -identity <ReceiveConnectorID> |format-list" and check the Permission Groups line). To enable internet access you've got to allow access to AnonymousUsers by running "Set-ReceiveConnector -identity <ReceiveConnectorID> -PermissionGroups AnonymousUsers". This worked fine.

However, I'd like to know how to use the Set-ReceiveConnector -PermissionGroups switch to allow multiple permission groups, like ExchangeServers and AnonymousUsers or the like. Anyone know?

Well, I've figured it out. The proper syntax is as follows:

Set-ReceiveConnector -Identity <ReceiveConnectorID> -PermissionGroups "AnonymousUsers,ExchangeUsers,ExchangeServers,LegacyExchangeServers"

Basically, you need the quotation marks around the names. What's confusing is that the help for the Set-ReceiveConnector command indicates that the -PermissionGroups parameter doesn't accept multiple values. However, it does, at least to my non-developer eyes

In Beta 2, the possible enumeration values for the PermissionsGroup parameter are "None, AnonymousUsers, ExchangeUsers, ExchangeServers, ExchangeLegacyServers, Partners, Custom".

Does anyone know exactly where these permission groups are defined?!??

Also, the Get-ReceiveConnector does not (apparently) return anything more than the connector name, its bindings, and whether or not its enabled.
