This post is along with Groupstudy's post. This isn't hard, but there's a
little bit of work.Your going to need 2 things up front ( have to have
these!!!)...
You need to set up an MX record (ASAP) (your isp can do that for you, or you
can if your running your own DNS server). You also need to decide to whether
your exchange server is going to be on the internet or if your going to
relay thru an SMTP. ( IIS has an SMTP agent). In a basic understanding here,
You'll need to setup Exchange to relay mail thru SMTP (if you do it this
way). Then which ever machine is getting mail (either exchange or the SMTP
server) you'll want your MX record set to that IP address.
Lets say your server is called EXCHANGE (and your not using SMTP relay).
Then your mx record is going to point to exchange.yourdomain.com (along with
the IP address of that machine). If your using SMTP then use that ip address
( you can use multiple smtp relays if you want,m which means you'll have
multiple mx records). I believe you can set a priority level on your smtp
server within exchange itself (so as to make one a default).
Read up on exchange, but you need to specifically back up 2 things. One is
the database and the other is some global file (not sure, but look it up).
