well i am afraid i cant be more simpler than that ,i will try to explain again,but i do appreciate your help. i have installed my exchange 2003 ,and then i published. after publishing i started to make some test and see if its functioning good or not in intranet and internet. the result was as follow: -intranet sending/receiving = succeed and i could read the mails. -internet receiving from external resources like gmail ,hotmail, yahoo = i see the items is increased in the exchange server but i cant open the mails or retrieve it from the exchange server using outlook express.(so i don't know how to fix that or where is my problem) -internet sending to gmail or yahoo or hotmail = succeeded. at last i had other 2 questions by asking for a tutorial or advice on: > 2-what is the best configurations to enhance my exchange mail process > sending/receiving speed? > > 3-what is the best exchange configurations to secure my exchange and > to protect it specially from spams?.
