Re: Exchange Eamil Problems SBS 2003

Russ - these days, using smarthost may be a bad idea. I definitely prefer
DNS. Yes, it can be a bit tricky to get the DNS right (well, not that hard),
but it at least doesn't show being bounced off of someone's server in the
mix. And if your ISP get's blacklisted, your out of luck if you're using
smarthost.

different things.

So you try to send email and it doesn't get sent?
(if so Please post error message.)

If it's Sending, you may have to send Via SmartHost (Sending through your
ISP)
Running CEICW and instead of Sending DNS send through your ISP
(SMTP.YOURISP.NET) or what ever it is.

Or is it not being recieved?

Note:
(You don't have your MX Records changes so I assume you are using the POP
connector in SBS to grab mail for your domain.)

More details on what you mean by Delivered.
(Again sorry for this question, because I've had people say Delivered when
they mean sent, and or recieved.)
