Client systems don't use MX records, but external servers do. You need them
in your external DNS so that when someone sends a message to your domain,
their server can query the MX record for your domain and thus know where to
deliver the message.
How do you handle incoming mail now? You have a number of options getting
Internet mail into your system.
You could use your ISP to receive all your incoming mail on their SMTP
servers, and have them forward it to your Exchange server (using port
address translation on your firewall, allowing only SMTP from that one
system). The advantage here is if your network is down, your incoming mail
will continue to queue. In this case, you'd have your ISP configure an MX
record that would point to their SMTP server.
Another common scenario is to set up an SMTP relay in a DMZ (preferable),
give it a public IP address, and have it forward mail to your Exchange
server. Many people do this with a Linux or FreeBSD box, and run sendmail or
postfix as the relay software (postfix is easier to manage). It could be
done with a Windows box running the IIS SMTP service, but be sure to lock
the box down tight. Whatever the server you use, you'd give it an externally
accessible IP address, and configure a rule in your firewall to forward SMTP
traffic (TCP/IP port 25) to that server. The MX record in your external DNS
would then point to that server.
If you want your mail users to access their mailboxes externally, I suggest
using Microsoft's suggestions for configuring OWA, or go to MSExchange.org
for configuration examples.

Hi Greg!
Thanks for respond.
First:
That is my type error in this message board that I listed twice exchfe in
my internal DNS list. That ist not true for my internal NDS. I have A
records for EXCHEFE and EXCHBE.
Second:
I want that the internal and external users can access Exchange internally
or externally. In Addition I wil deploy multiple mail domains that the
other maild domein users access my Exchange environment.
I don't understand why I should not my MX records in internal DNS? How can
internal user access Exchange if they have no MX record in internal DNS?
Can you list me your correction for my external and internal DNS entries?
Thanks.
