IS-IT--Management
We just got DSL with a router. Before that I just had exchange working for external email and in workstations Outlook I just had it setup for Exchange and POP so everyone could still send and receive external email. Once I got the DSL I called the ISP and asked them to delete the individual mailboxes and setup one that I will pull all email from. I then set up an SMTP connector in exchange by using the Internet connection wizard. After that I could no longer send internal mail and could only receive external email but could not send. :-( When I couldn't figure it out I had the ISP re-setup the mailboxes and tried get the confirguration back to where it was. I have been unsuccessful and am deseprate to get it fixed today.
I have 10 users...most on Win 2000 workstations, a SBS 2000, a hub and a router for the DSL.
I had help on setting up the server and I am assuming that the guy who helped me setup the MX records...but I have no idea of even where I go to do that. And I don't know if port 25 is open or not or where to go to open it.
Do I need to setup an SMTP connector? Should I choose DNS or the other option when setting up the SMTP connector (i'm assuming since I had internal email working that there is a DNS setup)?
I have never had any experience with exchange and setting up email in a server before. I am doing this to help my boss and also to learn.
Thanks in advance for any help you can give.
