So what exactly is the problem you have? Can you send mail from your server to an external server? Can you send mail internally? Can you send mail from an external account to your server?
As for using outlook inside/outside the network - this isnt easy when a machine needs both. It will work fine for machines always outside, fine for machines always inside, but there is no straightforward method that i know of as the server has 2 ips - one internal and one external. I use this kind of setup on my laptop, and i have two accounts - one for internal, one for external. Just make sure you send/check the right account!

Dan, I appreciate the help. Can you recommend a step by step process for configuring a DSL home office LAN in order to operate microsoft OUTLOOK email independently both internally and externally? A step by step method that will enable as much email inter-communication as possible. It seems we need someone responsible for setting up mx records. Also it seems that the SMTP and POP3 need o operate on seperate avenues. And it seems there is a bit of dependency upon the dynamic dns provider too. I believe there are alot of folks out there operating DSL out of home office with Dynamic DNS and NAT off of external Dynamic DNS providers (ie. www.no-ip.com) so they can avoid the large business class fees. Conceptually, due to all of these dependencies, this is complicated. There is no documentation on this. I think a table to itemize/decompose all of these options is warranted. It would also clear some confusion up as to why some things work and other things do not. Any help from anyone is appreciated. Find the music you love on MSN Music.
