Do you have a Cisco Pix? On your telnet to [public ip:25] do you get a
220 and a bunch of ******************* or a valid 220 banner page
indicating the SMTP server, version, time, etc? Bunch of **** indicates
Cisco Mailguard is most likely the problem. Disable it or upgrade it
with "no fixup protocol smtp 25" at the pix.
I'd look at your DNS too, but I know it ain't yahoo.com, because my
yahoo account works just fine. Does your MX record point to something
"different" like an IP address or a CNAME record?
I'd make sure that there's a recipient policy in place for the domain
that you're trying to receive, and that your E2k server is authoritative
for it.
What service pack you running on E2k and W2k?

Subject: DNS or Exchange2K?
If my site can send and receive internal e-mail and my
site can send e-mails externally but not receive
e-mails externally what kind of things do I need to
check for? I have already place an MX-record with my
authoritative DNS, and I can see it with nslookup. I
can also "telnet <ip of public address> 25 and receive
a 220 response. Is this a DNS problem? Any
suggestions would be most appreciated.
Julius
