Using Exchange to handle Internet Email

[dsflee]

Hi There,

Completely new to Exchange but have been given the task of getting our server up and running.

Bascially we have an Exchange 2000 server sitting on our LAN for the domain foldermatic.com which is currently being hosted by an isp. All is well sending mails from the exchange server but my problem is receiving mails to the foldermatic.com domain

I have pointed the DNS A record on the foldermatic.com ISP to the exhange server public ip address and set the MX record to the exchange server. e.g. server3.activedirectorydomain.com

my active directory domain is not foldermatic.com but exchange has been configured and all active directory users have a @foldermatic.com domain

can anyone give any tips/advice as to what i need to do so that foldermatic.com emails actually come to my exchange server?

Many Thanks.

A good place to start is your SMTP settings, specifically the properties of the SMTP virtual server. Check the 'access' tab and setup your external DNS servers in the 'delivery' tab.

Have put in my external DNS server info in the delivery tab of the SMTP virtual server. Still no joy.. :-(
