From your descriptive message, I am going to have to assume a few
things, like is Exchange installed correctly, or is DNS setup correctly,
or are there any firewall issues...
Make sure the following work in this order:
- Make sure TCP/IP is installed on your exchange server.
- Test to see if your exchange server surf the internet.
- Make sure that any firewall is allowing port 25 thru in both
directions. Also, if you are behind a proxy server, make sure that is
setup correctly.
- Can you connect to the internet on any port number from your exchange
server (try this cmd: "telnet smtp-gw-4.msn.com 25" and see if you get a
220 response - if not, then you probably cannot connect to msn.com's
mail server to send a user there e-mail.)
- On a computer that is on the same network as your exchange server,
what happens if you do a "telnet <ip addy of exch server> 25" - that
SHOULD work. If it doesn't, then you have issues with your exchange
server and SMTP.
- I am going to assume that your external DNS is setup correctly and
working fine. Then have a friend try the same command as above, except
replace the "smtp-gw-4.msn.com" with your FQDN for your mail server.
For instance, if your mail server is mail.domain.com, then your friend
would need to type "telnet mail.domain.com 25" from a computer that can
fully see the internet.
- Once you get to the point where your exchange server is responding to
an external request for SMTP, then you need to make sure you have a
place for a user's e-mail to go. See if your friend can send a message
to administrator@xxxxxxxxxx (again, assuming the MX record for your DNS
is working properly) - connect to your exchange server with Outlook, and
test.
If things are still not working, e-mail us back, but tell us what DOES
work, as well as what DOESN'T work, and any steps you may have tried.
Matt
