ok telnet to your server mail.unemad.com 25 i get sendmail so the send mail is a mail relay ? look at the log files of the mailrelay , i think he is forward the mail like this user@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx what the exchange can't get , the exchange is trying to find user in domain mail.unemad.com (not unemad.com) and will not relay to it * you can add smtp adreess to all the users by user@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx nimrod -----Original Message----- From: Hasler, Scott [mailto:Scott.Hasler@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx] Sent: þã 06 ôáøåàø 2002 2:26þ To: [ExchangeList] Subject: [exchangelist] First Time Exchange Setup - Please HELP! http://www.MSExchange.org/ Hello to all! I am in serious need of assistance with setting up an Exchange 2001 (v6) Server, and I would greatly appreciate anyone's tips/tricks/setup information/advice that will help me get this beast up and going. Here's the setup specs. 1 Exchange 2001 Server which runs on a Dual P3 running Win2k Server/AD & ISA Server 2000. Server Name: NT01.HQ.UNNAMED.COM Server IP: 192.168.1.100 (Lets pretend this is the external address) Domain "unnamed.com" which host's our web site on a Sun box (probably quite a few of them) running latest blend of Solaris using sendmail. Our provider has setup the DNS alias "mail.unamed.com" to forward to our dedicated w2k/exchange/isa server. If you ping the DNS name "mail.unamed.com" it resolves with the correct external IP address. We can send mail out which is addressed correctly and reaches all destinations, however anything that is sent to the e-mail addresses setup in exchange (ex: scott.hasler@xxxxxxxxxx will not reach our Exchange server and ultimately wont be delivered to the user's mailbox. I have setup the SMTP Virtual Server to receive incoming mail, which is about the extent of my knowledge with Exchange. I am lost when it comes to Exchange and have been studying/reading every day trying to learn as fast as I can but I have been unsuccessful thus far. Ok, so my real question is, from a default/standard install of Exchange 2001 what would need to be done/setup to receive mail coming from "mail.unamed.com" (which is using sendmail) and have the mail reach the correct recipient addresses? A connector of some sort? There is also one other thing, if I run a trace route to mail.unamed.com it will time out when it hits the Cisco. This could be ISA preventing access to the server, which is doubtful because I have configuring it to allow both SMTP/POP3 traffic. Again, any help/advice would be much appreciated as I am still trying to learn!
