Hello,

We are using a SBS 2003 Server with Exchange 2003.

We are configuring our Exchange's Internet Connectivity.

Internally, our SBS 2003 Server has a FQDN like: sbs.bostontest.lan .

Externally, from the internet, we need our SBS 2003 Server to be able to receive emails that point to:
sbs.bostontest.com .

I am planning on contacting our ISP to get an MX Record like:
MX 10 sbs2003.bostontest.com .

If somebody outside of our network sends an email to pam@bostontest.com , how will Exchange 2003 get that email to pam&bostontest.lan , in our internal network?

Do I use a Recipient Policy to do this?

Thanks for your help. -Boston33.
 
You need to run the Internet Connection Wizard from SBS and it will set this up for you. Check the SBS To Do List. You will find it there.

I hope you find this post helpful.

Regards,

Mark
 
Yes, you can also do this by creating a recipient policy and adding SMTP aliases for the users. Make sure you have SMTP (port 25) allowed inbound from your firewall as well.
