Send Mail out of the network

[germanc4]

How can I configure my exchange server to send mail and receive from outside my network? (the server doesn't have internet connection but one of the servers does. I know it can be done cus' I've seen it, but how?

A little more information required. So the Exchange Server has no access to the internet????? What Protocol are you using to receive, SMTP, POP, etc

 

[germanc4]

[germanc4]

Germanc4,

Are you able to send to other internal users? RECEIVING outside e-mail from the rest of the internet requires MX records in DNS and forwarding SMTP traffic from the internet to your Exchange server -- which will vary, based on your network setup.

What can you tell us about your environment? number of Exchange servers, type of internet connection, router/gateway/firewall would all be helpful.
