Ok... call me stupid, but apparently I'm missing something.
I have just recently set up a new 2003 SBS Premium server, and have been in the process of setting up the exchange server (which I'm unfamiliar with). My problem is... our internet provider was previsouly hosting our email server. After moving our users onto the new server, they are unable to connect to the ISP's server to send email (or any external email server). I was hoping I could continue to do this, until I was positive I had exchange setup correctly before having our internet provider change the DNS entry to point to the new server as our mail server.

The next problem i'm having, is to allow one of our remote users to connect to the new server, via outlook. I'm assuming this is being blocked by the ISA server, but again, I'm not familiar with the ISA server, so I'm having a rough time finding the settings, so if someone could help, I would be VERY grateful.

Thanks Ahead of time
