Grab http://isatools.org/isainfo.ex_.
It'll parse the ISA settings into a file that you can post for review.
It'll be much faster than bouncing ISA configuration questions back and
forth.
RE: your MX record, it should have the same name as the domain and point to
the mail.domain.com A record.

I am somewhat in the same situation as "Billbo", although I am receiving
mail, I do not know if I have setup the DNS properly, or if I selected the
appropriate protocols when I ran the mail wizard.

I did try to follow Dr. Shindler's info in his book "ISA Server 2000" but
found it confusing for a small network novice.

1.) Network Environment:
ISA setup as standalone on a dedicated win2k server (no DNS, IIS or anything
else on the ISA box).
Two W2k servers, both configured as Domain Controllers, both with DNS.
One as an Exchange Mail Server, the other as File, Print, DHCP, and WINS.


1.) In DNS, I added an A (Host) record as mail."domain".com with the IP
address of the ISA's external NIC.
2.) In DNS, I added a MX (Mail) record as "servername"."domain".com with the
IP address of my Exchange Server.
3.) I requested my ISP setup on their DNS the MX record and a
mail."domain".com URL pointing to my external nic's IP address.

QUESTIONS:
1.) Do I need the MX record on my DNS (or is just having the ISP host the MX
record on their DNS sufficient)?
2.) Since the ISP used mail."domain".com rather than the actual mail servers
servername, I the A record also as mail."domain".com on my internal DNS
correct?
3.) What are the appropriate "Mail Wizard" protocols, for an Exchange Server
5.5 (and how do I now change them)?

Thanks

Q1 - from where?
Q2 - have you created the proper DNS records for external mail?

I have recently installed ISA server and set up afew
nodes as Secure NAT clients I ran the secure mail
wizard and set up my email server.

I am able to send emails out but am unable to receive
any.

network. I get the following error:   This is an
automatically generated Delivery Status Notification.

THIS IS A WARNING MESSAGE ONLY.

YOU DO NOT NEED TO RESEND YOUR MESSAGE.

Delivery to the following recipients has been delayed.

       craig@xxxxxxxxx


Please help me let me know what I am doing wrong.
