Hello ALL,

I have been having the worst time and luck when trying to finish the
configuration of the exchange server behind ISA.  Is it really this much
of a pain.  I have setup the appropriate filters using the mail wizard.
I have the machine in the local network environment with a static NAT
address of .30.  The outside DNS servers are pointing to the ISA server
while the inside DC has a .30 for the mail server.   I can connect to
the mail server fine, I can send using the mail server fine.....i just
can't receive.  When pinging from the outside I get a reply from the dns
for the ISA server.  When I go into the system manager to look in the
mailboxes to see if the mail has made it, there is NOTHING.  No mail
makes it past the ISA server.  I have installed the new patch on the ISA
server with obviously no results.  I have installed many Exchange
servers inside other firewalls, Checkpoint or a Firebox and have not had
this many issues.  What could be the problem here.  My Outlook Web
Access is working fine but I cannot receive mail, only send.... I have
read the LEARNING ZONE word for word, and obviously it has gotten me no
where, does anyone else have a problem similar to this, if
so........please help a tired engineer out...

Thanks,

Colter Bowman
