Hi All,

In Exchange 2003.
Any idea

Check your message queues. Make usre your virtual SMTP server is running.

I hope you find this post helpful.

Help us help you!

Do you receive an NDR?

Are the messages stuck in an outbound queue?

Is there anything in the event logs on the exchange server when you send?

Is this from everyone or specific users?

Is it to all domains or only specific?

Sorry,
This is waht I'm getting, when trying to send an email.

The destination server for this recipient could not be found in Domain Name Service (DNS). Please verify the email address and retry. If that fails, contact your administrator.

Verify that DNS is setup correctly.

DNS Settings:

Configure the server NIC to only list itself or other DCs, no ISP DNS gets configured on the NIC TCP/IP properties.

In DHCP, set the DNS scope option to only provide the IP of your local DNS server

For any statically configured IPs, make sure the DNS only lists local DNS servers and not ISP DNS.

In the DNS snap-in on the forwarders tab enter your ISP DNS.

I hope you find this post helpful.

Mark

Thanks Mark.
I just create a new SMTP connector, I read somewhere you need to one to connect to older Exchange version.
But still when I send an email to some hotmail account doesn't work and work for some.
Check my DNS,works fine

Well, there isn't a need to create a new SMTP connector. But, you'll want to make sure that you have a rDNS entry for your forward facing IP address. It's not likely the cause here, but Hotmail, AOL, and others bounce mail (incorrectly) for not having an rDNS entry.
