See if from your machine you can telnet on port 25 to any external mail server (e.g. telnet mail.messageone.com 25). If you can't then see if you can configure your Exchange server to forward to your ISP's mail server. If you can... well, then we need to troubleshoot some more.
BTW, you can run a mail server without a fixed IP, by using Dynamic DNS. Several people in my office do so currently (they're all kinda geeky though, and need to take a shower). -----Original Message----- From: John Parker [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Posted At: Wednesday, September 03, 2003 8:17 AM Posted To: swynk Conversation: Smtp ports - firewall Subject: Newbie question. No flames please, I am covered with jet fuel. Hey all I have recently built an exchange server at home. The server and activedirectory as well as exchange went by the book. I have all of my workstations on the domain and they are working fine. All of the workstations are connecting to the exchange server without a problem. two of the computers have 3rd internet mail accounts on them as well. (I hope I am making this clear.) My domain is not registered as of yet because I cannot nail down an external static IP.(Cable modem blues) That will change once I have a house. Now, for the problem. I cannot send mail to anyone that is not in the gal. Shouldn't I be able to send mail out regardless of whether my domain is reistered? I understand that I will not be able to recieve external mail as far as the exchange server goes, and the internet mail seems to be working fine short of sending. What am I missing here? Thanks for the help. _________________________________________________________________ List posting FAQ: http://www.swinc.com/resource/exch_faq.htm Web Interface: http://intm-dl.sparklist.com/cgi-bin/lyris.pl?enter=exchange&text_mode=&; lang=english To unsubscribe: mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Exchange List admin: [EMAIL PROTECTED] _________________________________________________________________ List posting FAQ: http://www.swinc.com/resource/exch_faq.htm Web Interface: http://intm-dl.sparklist.com/cgi-bin/lyris.pl?enter=exchange&text_mode=&lang=english To unsubscribe: mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Exchange List admin: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
