If you are running SBS2003 Premium, ISA2004 is free and you should use it.

That is good to hear, but how do I get it? My SBS2003, which was
purchased in 2003, came with ISA2000 Standard, not ISA2004. We were
running ISA2000 all along and never updated it until the other day,
when I was trying to solve the e-mail problem. I applied SP2 at that
time.

As to Exchange, your setup is really unusual. I'm very surprised that your
ISP lets you send directly with the ISP address. You will be blocked by
quite a few recipient mail servers because the sending IP address doesn't
match your email domain.

Maybe my problem is that they used to allow it, but no longer do so? I
tested mainly by trying to send a message to the ISP e-mail address.
The SMTPSVC log entries said "could "not bind to domain XXX.com in
DNS". I cannot ping ISP.com. I can, however, ping mailserver@xxxxxxxx
In another case (Mail.com), it said "mail.com is refusing connections"
or something to that effect. That is probably what you were talking
about. For what it's worth, Mail.com also does not allow me to send
e-mails to my cell phone's pseudo e-mail address
<phone-number@cellprovider-domain>, although it works my ISP account,
Hotmail, Yahoo and others .

Does this mean that I should ask my ISP if I can use the other option
(the smart host). Why didn'ty they make the SMTP work like the POP3

Don't publish anything that you don't use. As far as I can see you also
don't need a certificate. Take out the OWA and RWW but allow POP3 in and
out.

OK

I assume that you opened 25 and 110 on your router and have them forwarded
to your SBS box.

I never personally opened or closed anything. However, since on one
occasion, I did allow CEICW to configure my UPnP device (Speedtouch 546
ADSL modem), I jdid a factory reset of the modem and configured it from
scratch. The ADSL modem is now as it was when everything was
working.However, only web browsing is working.

IPNat.sys is used for the NAT translation. What is the exact error
(including error number and type) that you get in the event log?

The error log says:
(Source: IPNATHLP)
"The Windows Firewall/Internet Connection Sharing (ICS) service could
not start because another program or service is running that might use
the network address translation component (Ipnat.sys). This can occur
when Routing and Remote Access is enabled. If this is the case, you
must disable Routing and Remote Access before the Windows
Firewall/Internet Connection Sharing (ICS) service can start.

For more information, see Help and Support Center at
http://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/events.asp.";

And then:

(source: Service Control Manager)
"The Windows Firewall/Internet Connection Sharing (ICS) service
terminated with the following error:
The requested resource is in use.

For more information, see Help and Support Center at
http://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/events.asp.";

No additional information was available in either case.

I see where there is a Trial of ISA2006, but there is no direct upgrade
path from ISA2000 to ISA2006. I suppose I would have to uninstall
ISA2000 and then install ISA2006. Since everyone is OK except me (they
don't need SMTP or POP3), I will need to wait until Sunday , when I can
have the server to myself.
