outbound and inbound email from internet issue |
|
|
I get my Exchange 2k3 SP1 installed on win 2k server sp4 directly with one
nic to internet, with DNS setup, the MX record is done in the ISP side.
My Email for example in my exchange server is: @toto.test.com
I get another main email provided by our ISP @test.com
Outbound email can be sent to some email like @yahoo.com but can not be sent
to my main email @test.com, email stay in the queue.
For incoming mail, simple nothing is received. but the Mx record is ok
checked with nslookup.
I will appreciate clear instruction for setup, it's really a basic
configuration.
Or is the problem rely with the ISP?

I sure hope you don't mean directly. Got a firewall?

What's your AD domain name? Is it test.com? Is test.com in your recipient
policy? If you aren't hosting mail for it on Exchange, it shouldn't be.

I'm not sure, because I'm not sure what your setup is, or what it is you
want to accomplish. Can you reply with more detail? |

My exchange server is directly connected to internet, without firewall.
in my recipient policy, i get only @toto.test.com, the one wanted to
received emails.
What other details you want, cause by default. i used the smtp virtual
server to sent and received.
Only emails sent to @test.com, can not be sent out, i try with telnet, i get
a 5.7.1 error enable to relay.
For incoming emails, i have no idea, as nothing is received.

Very Bad Idea. You need to fix this. You probably already have some
unwelcome visitors on your network.

What is your *actual unedited* registered Internet domain name, the one you
want to receive mail with? And what is your AD domain name?

Does "test.com" actually exist? What is the actual domain name?

Hi this is only a test phase, base to troubleshoot our internal software
development with customer using exchange server and microsoft outlook based
for email reception.
So i go straight to the point, with direct connection to internet,
afterwards if my management agree, the server will go under our ISA firewall
for our internal usage, so far we used our ISP for email.
The internet domain register is : test.com, already exist and our primary
site and email provided by our ISP.
Toto.test.com is already used by another server for HTTPS server solution,
and DNS record was created in another IP a.b.c.d.
I asked our ISP provider to add a MX record for: @toto.test.com and the
external IP for this server at this IP: e.f.g.h
But after read your webpage you sent me: it seems exchange.toto.test.com
needs also A record hosted, not sure our ISP have done the necesary or just
add the MX record.
Hope you follow me, not easy as i dont want to reveal the exact name.
Let me know if i need to ask for a A Record hosted by our isp for my
exchange server in addition of the MX record to check with them if they have
do or not.

Still a Very Bad Idea unless this is a separate lab network and you plan to
wipe out everything & reinstall it.

There's no way for me (or anyone) to look at your setup then - and since you
don't have a firewall in place, I can't say as I blame you for not wanting
to post it. As I said, it is incredibly foolhardy to set up your server on
an unprotected network. Even for testing.
See if you can do lookups at www.dnsreport.com

An MX record can point only at an A record...not an IP address directly, so
yes. But it sounds like you have one already if you're using that subdomain
for a website hosted elsewhere.
