MarvinC touches on a few issues. But to get this working for a small operation:
a) Make sure your Exchange recipient policy includes the domains you want to receive mail for (so that Exchange will accept the mai) b) Update your MX record for the domain to point to the appropriate external IP address (which could be an SMTP gateway, firewall, etc) (so that the mail gets delivered to you, not your hosting company) c) If you are not sending mail out through an external gateway, but directly from your network, then create appropriate SPF records for your domain (so you can send mail, and not have it rejected) The other stuff (like ISA Server, certs, BE/FE server combos etc) are design issues additional to the basic configuration above.

I pay someone else $1 an account to host my Internet email. I would like to cut out the middle man.
