Thanks for the information Dave. I have most of it all setup correctly. I
changed my DNS records and I can telnet to my server. I have been able to
send out e-mails from a workstation on my network using Outlook 2003 through
Exchange. The problem now is that messages are not being received.
When I go to the Inbox folder in Outlook 2003 for my mailbox the status at
the bottom of the screen says "Waiting to Update this folder". I also tried
sending some e-mails to myself last night from a computer outside the network
and they have bounced back this morning. What do I need to check to correct
this? Any help is greatly appreciated!
