RE: IMC - no inbound mail
Have you set your own domain as inbound under the IMC Routing tab?

RE: IMC - no inbound mail
What's going on on the routing page of the IMS? How about on the connections page of the IMS? -Original Message- From: Andy Russell [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Wednesday, November 21, 2001 1:35 PM To: Exchange Discussions Subject: IMC - no inbound mail I'm setting up a new IMC on Exch 5.5 - outgoing mail works fine but the Exchange server is not responding to incoming mail reqests - log shown below.

RE: IMC - no inbound mail
Thanks for reply - the routing page shows some limits on who can reroute via the smtp - but as I understand it that only applies to routing to foreign domains, not to inbound traffic. On the connections page I just have the address of our isp as a forwarder - all mail goes out fine so we're sure that works. Our isp has the address of our router which uses NAT to translate to the mail server - again this bit must work as the smtp protocol log shows various internet mail servers trying to connect - the only bit that's not working seems to be the return path so the imc can respond with an acknowledgement and start receiving the message. The imc does respond to hosts inside the network using it as an smtp server to reroute out to internet which is the same sort of thing as this mail comes inbound first before being rerouted. Let me know if you think of anything I'm missing - I've got a nagging doubt that it may be DNS settings on the mailserver or something...

RE: IMC - no inbound mail
Thanks for the reply - yes our own domain is set as inbound. No NDR's yet as the mail servers who are trying to send haven't given up trying yet - we are just seeing an increasing amount of connection attempts. It really does seem as though all is working except the IMC responding to the inbound requests - yet it responds to inbound requests from clients (such as Unix boxes) using the server as an SMTP server to reroute out to internet. I'm unsure as to what needs to be in place for the IMC to respond - whether it uses it's own DNS or similar - it certainly has a route out on port 25 as it's able to contact our ISP's mail forwarded where it sends all it's stuff. It doesn't do it's own DNS for regular outbound just forwards to a host. Thanks Andy Have you set your own domain as inbound under the IMC Routing tab?
