I have Exchange 2k3 running on Server 2003. I can't figure out why I can send out but can't receive. seems to be all users. i rebooted the Exchange box and still can't receive. I'm not really an Exchange guru, so I'm wondering what I should check first.
thanks.
 
ok, here's what i've done. i did "telnet mail.xxx.com 25" and got "could not open connection to the host, on port 25: connect failed.
i also did a dns test from dnsreports.com and it says "the parent servers say that the domain xxx.com does not exist."
also did an nslookup and got a bunch of time-outs non-existent can't find junk.

so- i have a DNS problem. I'm thinking my ISP's records are the problem.
 
aha!
it might help if the domain name didn't expire last night.
and of course there's somebody i've never heard of listed as the admin contact.
