Could be.....is the mx record for your domain pointing to the old or new
server? What happens is you send yourself an e-maill from a hotmail or
gmail account? Do you get a bounce there? It may just be that DNS is
messed up...

Actually Tom no messages from external emial is getting through. I am
currently in the process of moving my exchange to a newer box with the
same
software. Up to yesterday everythng was working fine but now nothing from
outside seems to be getting through. I have moved the majority of my
users
to the new box. Could this be due to the fact that the 2 are operating
side
by side (although the old one is still functioning as primary)?

Hi. I am running a w2k server with exchange 2000 installed. I have
noticed
that external emails are taking an excessively long time to be
received.
I
have no problem in sending mail within domain or sending out of domain.
I
sent to an external address and received it almost immediately. I
stopped
and restarted the smtp service after emptying the bad mail folder in
the
exchange mailroot, but i don't think the problem has been fully
resolved.
Any
ideas?
