Hi Hirantha,
Thanks for the reply.
 
I am trying to stay connected and then trying to receive  mails.
Here my basic settings itself ( in regard to MX record) seems to be wrong?
 
Thanks
Raj

When you have a mail server in hand, you have to have a secondary mail server 
in case of your primary mail server (your E2K server) unavailable or down. What 
secondary mail server does is (your external mail exchanger in this case) if 
you?re primary went offline secondary will temporary hold your incoming mails. 
Most of the companies use their ISP?s mail servers as a secondary mail 
exchanger.

Hi all, 
Iam using a dynamic Ip (dialup) and have exchange server installed on my 
win2000 domain controller. 

I have registered with noip.com and my domain name would be 
deepblue.bounceme.net (deepblue is my hostname) ping by name works fine. 

Now for entering the MX record i have a doubt. 
In the noip page information it shows as two sections. 

1) Hostname :deepblue.bounceme.net 

Host type: Dns host (A) 
Ip address:my dynamic ip 

2) Mail options 

Enter name of your external mail exchangers(mx records) 
MX Record           MX priority 

?????                   5 

Here the question mark i have to fill up******* . 

My question is "should i have my MX record already with another ISP? if not 
what should i fill up? 
MY computer name is deepblue.raj.com 

By the way i can send email fine!!.
