In short, you enable the server to be a relay using the Sophos Dashboard and the Sophos Endpoint agent does the rest.

Yes, this server has to have an installation of Sophos endpoint as well.

If this system shows up in your Sophos central account after you installed the Sophos endpoint software and rebooted, you can add the functionality to act as update cache and message relay server from Sophos central.
