Hi All,

We have a Server 2003 and Exchange Server 2003 configuration here in the office.

For email we generally use a external ISP and use a pop3 connector.

However some monkey in the office has ordered a new domain and did not include hosted mail services. Now the boss is not prepared to shell out any more for the hosted services so I need to configure exchange to receive the mails.

The hosting company is basically forwarding all mails to our IP address automatically so I need exchange to receive these mail and the route them to the users.

Now the routing part I can do fine, however I have never configured exchange to receive emails in this way before. If anyone has any pointers or a relevent article on the web I would be most apreciative.

Never mind I have got this sorted. I had everything set up correctly but for some reason the ISP were forwarding the emails to Port 10 and not 25. I have now opened this port and it is working correctly.
