We had the same problem during and upgrade to exchange 2000 and are still not
happy with our knowledge of it but here's what we have gleamed:
We had it going out but not in, and we weren't getting delivery failures from
the web based email we were sending in. Eventually we tried so many things we
decided take a step back and rethink so we rebooted isa and exchange. The
exchange took longer to go down and as the isa went down mail snuck in. After
they came up again (isa then exchange) We were good. Although if we restart
any of the isa services we have to reboot both machines to get email back. As
best we can see it seems to be a bit of a race to the incoming mail port
between The isa rules for internal mail server and the virtual smtp server on
iis on the isa server.
In conclusion I just rebooted and don't know why it worked. Our isa's iis
services has the virtual smtp sever stopped and can't be started unless we stop
isa services. Maybe my rig job will jog memories of others more knowledgeable.
We did a w2k/exch2k upgrade for 40 hours over the weekend and are going to try
and tackle it again in 2 weekends until then it works (kinda).

Michael,
Yes thanks for the help, unfortunately I have tried that and it DOES
work. I can get to the server when typing telnet mail.exchange.com 25
It connects, what step would you take next?

Have you tried to telnet (IP Address of mail server) 25. That will at
least verify that Port 25 is open.

Hello ALL,
I have been having the worst time and luck when trying to finish the
configuration of the exchange server behind ISA. Is it really this much
of a pain. I have setup the appropriate filters using the mail wizard.
I have the machine in the local network environment with a static NAT
address of .30. The outside DNS servers are pointing to the ISA server
while the inside DC has a .30 for the mail server. I can connect to
the mail server fine, I can send using the mail server fine.....i just
can't receive. When pinging from the outside I get a reply from the dns
for the ISA server. When I go into the system manager to look in the
mailboxes to see if the mail has made it, there is NOTHING. No mail
makes it past the ISA server. I have installed the new patch on the ISA
server with obviously no results. I have installed many Exchange
servers inside other firewalls, Checkpoint or a Firebox and have not had
this many issues. What could be the problem here. My Outlook Web
Access is working fine but I cannot receive mail, only send.... I have
read the LEARNING ZONE word for word, and obviously it has gotten me no
where, does anyone else have a problem similar to this, if
so........please help a tired engineer out...
Thanks,
Colter Bowman
