Also, you might want to check with your ISP that incoming SMTP packets are allowed to pass through, and if not, ask them to allow it on your IP. In my area, most ISPs block inbound SMTP on ADSL/Cable connections due to the number of open-relays users unwillingly create.

Clears my throat... Can anyone explain why I'm not receiving any external email on my newly installed EX2K box at home? I can send and receive mail internally with no problem, and I can also send to my seperate ISP email account with no problem. I'm just not able to receive anything externally. I have a DSL connection with a Linksys Router. I've opened port 25 (SMTP) and 110, not that I needed to. I'm guessing there's a step I'm missing. Any help is appreciated. ------------------------------------------------------ You are currently subscribed to this MSExchange.org Discussion List as: Gabi.Poturlu@xxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe send a blank email to $subst('Email.Unsub') ########################################### This message has been scanned by F-Secure Anti-Virus for Microsoft Exchange.
