it's probably an external dns issue. If you can send mail inside and outside but not receive it's usally a dns issue. Check to make sure your dns records for mail matches with you ip address.

So I'm sure it's something on my end. I do notice the event logs on my DC stating that the exchange server is now out of licenses. I'm going to troubleshoot this to see how this came about. -----Original Message----- From: John Tolmachoff [mailto:jtolmachoff@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx] Sent: Thursday, March 13, 2003 10:22 AM To: [ExchangeList] Subject: [exchangelist] RE: Best way for troubleshooting mail receipt problems in Exchange 2k... http://www.MSExchange.org/ > Maybe I should have mentioned that this exchange server sits on my home > w2k network.
