Cannot receive any mail from outside

[nuzzy]

Hi all,

I'm stuck...I have E2K3 set up and can receive mail from the same network. When I try to send mail from my Yahoo account to my E2K3 account I never receive it. I'm getting 5.7.3 errors. Anyone have any ideas? I have set the options on the server to receive anonymous mail and have no authentication checked off...

Can u post full reject messages?

A message (from <george.nussbaum@comcast.net>) was received at 30 Sep 2003 15:23:12 +0000.

The following addresses had delivery problems:

gnussbaum@andoverdev.com
Persistent Transient Failure: Delivery time expired
Delivery last attempted at 30 Sep 2003 15:23:12 +0000


There wasn't a 5.7.3 error as I had thought. Just the above error.

Have you setup MX record in the external DNS for the mail server, as well as an smtp connector in Exchange?

I have the MX record set up, but I didn't think I needed an smtp connector...do I?

 

[j93saturn]

do you have port 25 open on your firewall?

I do

There are certain scenarios which require you to setup smtp connector. Mine seems to fall into one such scenario.


Did you say u have anonymous access checked off? Then that's your problem. You need this to be on.

I fixed it...under SMTP settings, I had the Connection settings too restrictive...I just need the ip addresses restrictions for relaying so I took them out of connections
