A few days ago my web host moved my web site & domain to a new server with, of course, a new IP. My local Exchange 2007 server is now no longer receiving external email. I assume there's a setting somewhere in Exchange that will allow me to start receiving eMail again, but I simply don't know enough about Exchange to reset it. Could someone point me in the right dirction? I would greatly appreciate it.
 
You just need to create two records in DNS:

1) an A-record that resolves your server's public name to your server's IP. Do WhatIsMyIP.com from your server if you are wondering what exactly that IP is.

2) an MX-record that points to the A-record that you created in step 1.

What happened (and this is all-to-common) is probably your new web hoster asked to transfer the name servers over to themselves, but they didn't copy the needed records over as part of the transfer, because, hey, all they care about is where
