If I understand you correctly you can recieve email and
send it to a different domian, but it gets returned when
you try to send it to your domain. I had this problem
also and had it resolved in a posting Monday.
Here is a copy of resolution:
When you setup Exchange it thinks it is authoritative for
that domain, so any address that doesn't exist on you
server will appear as undeliverable. You can fix this by
doing the following:
Right-click Virtual SMTP server-> Properties-> Messages
tab-> Specify your ISP's SMTP mail server on the
field "Forward all mail with unresolved recipients to
host".
This happens because you are using the POP3 connector...
if you were using SMTP then your server *must* be
authoritative for the domain (since somebody has to send
an NDR when an account doesn't exist).
