Re: Exchange 2003 does not receive external mail

Is Exchange receiving those messages?
- If no, what do the SMTP logs say?
- If yes, are they in the queue?
- Anything in the application event log?
- Bump up diagnostics logging for MSExchangeTransport. See if those show
anything.

Hello,
I'm running Exchange 2003 sp2. My environment is exchange on one box and
the DC on another. All internal mail works and i can send externally.
DNS
seems ok, MX records seem ok. I can receive test mail when I telnet to
the
external address. External messages are getting to the server, I can see
this
through a firewall log, but exchange doesn't process these messages. I
have
tried disabling the firewall and no luck. What's really weird is that
sometimes it will work for about 10 minutes or so, then all of a sudden it
stops processing incoming mail. Any help would be appreciated, I'm really
stumped on this one.

also, netdiag and dcdiag are all good and no errors in the event viewer.
I've tired diagnostic logging, but not really too sure what to look for
here.
