Hi,

Thanks for posting here.

From your post, I understand that you want to know how to configure
Exchange Server to send/receive email. If I am off base, please feel
free to let me know.

Based on my knowledge, you can use ISP''s mailserver as a smarthost
for your Exchange server. To do so, please follow the process below:

After that, you would be able to send messages out via your Exchange
account to both Internet addresses and internal addresses.

Hi, Steven - the OP is trying to set up his server to receive mail directly
via SMTP - I don't think he is asking how to send *outbound* mail.

However, as your primary address of your internal account could be
user@xxxxxxxxxxxx, when any Internet recipients tried to reply to your
messages, they may receive an NDR message similar to the first NDR you
included. We can follow the steps below to change the primary address
to be the address of your ISP''s mailbox so that when any Internet
recipients tried to reply to your messages, the reply messages will
go to your mailbox on your ISP''s server.

He's not trying to keep his mailboxes on his ISP's mail server at all - he's
trying to stop using POP and start using SMTP delivery, as far as I can
tell. But, even so, your advice below doesn't seem correct to me - he has
his own domain name, and his domain name is (or should be) in his recipient
policy as 'primary' already.


1. Open Active Directory Users and Computer (ADUC).
2. Locate your account. Right-click it and then click Properties.
3. On the E-mail addresses tab, click to clear the box "Automatically
update e-mail address based on recipient policy".
4. Click New to create a new SMTP address that same with the e-mail
address provided by your ISP.
5. Select the newly-created address and then click Set as Primay.
6. Click OK.
7. Log off and log on your Outlook client.
8. After that, when you send messages to an Internet recipient via
your Exchange account, the messages should be delivered. When the
recipient tries to reply, the reply message would go to your mailbox
on your ISP''s server.
9. You can follow the steps below to change each user that need to
send messages to the Internet recipients.

Hope this helps!

Have a nice day.

Best Regards,

Steven Zhu
