    Hi All....
    Tearing my hair out here!

    I have SBS running in my home office. Running just fine with my primary
    email domain kognition.co.nz. I am trying to add a new email domain for my
    blog syringe.net.nz and someting is amiss.

    I have got the mx records point at the correct mail server- my SBS server
    I have added chris@syringe.net.nz as an SMTP address to my AD user account
    I can send email from Outlook to chris@syringe.net.nz internally with no
    problems
    I can telnet to my Exchange box from my desktop machine on the loca network
    and send mail to chris@syringe.net.nz by hand

    but......

    when I try and send mail from somewhere outside my network (yahoo mail or
    telnetting from my notebook over GPRS) I get a cannot relay error.

    What step have I missed?

    Cheers
    Chris
