Problem receiveing outside (internet)e-mail in an Exchange
2000.
Using Outlook I can choose users from my exchange address
list, send to those users and receive mail, both sending
and receiving, I can also send to outside address.
But cannot receive from outside addresses.
Environment: Win2000 Active Directory, running my own
registerd Dns.
I can resolve my public ip address from any machine on the
network,ping returns name resolution, can pull up
mx records from my FQDM. But cannot receive outside e-mail.
Recipents policy is set to default with smtp,x400 and my
registered FQDN.
Any idea, I was able to receive but not send before this
got reversed!

How is your MX record configured?

1) has your provider blocked port 25
2) are your DNS records accessible on a host open to the internet? if
connect to the internet from another service, can you look up your dns and
mx records?
3) what error message do senders get back?

See www.dnsreport.com and look up your domain to see if it can find any
problems.

I did check a few dns resource's. www.network-tools.com,
and was able to resolve and check for dns resolution.
and It gives me my mx recourds and the machine host name
resolving my FQDN. I will check this link that you
provided and see if it gives me alittle more information.
Thank you very much for your help and response.

Thanks for your response,
when I do an MX record check from my windows2000 machine,
using the nslook up i get the following
DNS request timed out, but......
following that message I get my server name FQDN, MX
preference =2, mail exchanger= my FQDN and its internet
address ...\...\... <my correct internet aaddress.
I am searching to see if it should respond with more
information.

Thanks again,
for your post, I was able to use the dnsreport to find out
that the ns nameserver is timing out. on the last report,
It finds the ns record but then times out at the
nameserver. Is there a way to change or improve this that
you know of?
