If your linksys router is setup to obtain an IP from the sat...then your IP address could change anytime and the mail record and mx record you have are not correct and mail will bounce
You should contact your satellite DSL (don't think its really dsl, but that doesn' t really matter either) provider and ask if you have a static or dynamic IP assignment
If it is dynamic then take down those mail and mx records and you will need to register with a dynamic dns provider such as tzo.com or dyndns.org and they will take care of your dns entries for mail server
Actually sending mail out through you ISPs email server as a "smarthost" is a good thing. That way you don't get mail from your domain being black listed for no reverse dns entries.

Hi I want to handle my own mail by smtp and use SBS2003 (2 NICs) I have a Satellite ADSL account. The IP apparently does not have reverse DNS lookup. Have asked ISP for info on this but so far no joy, they have given me their smtp server to use but I want to try to handle all myself if possible. Satellite Modem Gilat 360E has IP 217.xxx.xxx.201 this goes into a Linksys Router BEFSR41 (192.168.0.1) set to obtain an IP automatically from the Sat Modem and then into my External NIC Static IP (192.168.0.2). When I use www.whatismyip.com I get 217.xxx.xxx.202. I have a domain name mycompany.co.uk with the following records setup: www A 212.xxx.xxx.196 mail A 217.xxx.xxx.202 (not sure if I have the correct entry here?) ftp A 212.xxx.xxx.196 * A 212.xxx.xxx.196 MX Records: mail.mycompany.co.uk. 5 mx0.host.co.uk. 10 Appreciate some advice on what needs doing to set this up correctly. Many thanks in advance Gus
