inbound mail

[rihu]

I'm running an exchange 2003 server. I setup a smtp connector for outbound mail that uses dns to route all mail, The outbound works fine, but I can't seem to setup inbound mail. I have an mx record pointing to my IP, and I opened up smtp for inbound traffic

Thanks
Tommy

try with telnet first to see if your port 25 is open and correctly forwarded.

I am having the same issue with my Exchange 2000 server. I am able to send out to anybody with no problem. I am able to send internally no problem, but I am unable to send from the outside world to my server. I have my MX record setup and pointing to my IP. I am able to verify the port is open using:

I have tried both the SMTP and the Pop3 testers on this site and I am able to recieve email this way. I would assume that this means my port is forwarding correctly. If anybody has any ideas please let me know.

Thanks,
