ISA SP3? Server 2003 SP2? Exchange SP2?

Have you run through the connect to the internet wizard again?

Running SBS 2003 Premium SP2, 2 NIC's, static IP, Custom DNS service

============
Had to rebuild my server over the weekend and am now trying to get
email back-on-line. A (very!) few emails do filter through, but
mostly we are "down".

I have spent the batter part of today and yesterday afternoon watching
ESM, the event logs, and tracking down any yellow or red entries
through eventid.net and MS to see what I can do to resolve them. I
added dyndns.org's name servers for email to my account at Network
Solutions, and verified they were loaded by generating a DNS report on
dnsstuff.com; however, they are now gone when I re-run that report.
Don't know what's going on there.

I've quadruple-checked the entries in ESM, checked the event logs and
worked on the entries pertaining to Exchange until all the yellows and
reds are gone. Still nothing. DNS reports on dnsstuff.com continue
to show that they can't communicate with whoopingcrane.org or
mail.whoopingcrane.org. I set ISA 2004 to log entries and then re-ran
a report on dnsstuff.com and saw several entries in red:
<snip>
FWX_E_TCP_NOT_SYN_PACKET_DROPPED 0x0 0x0 Firewall 3/18/2008 3:36:05
PM 192.168.1.10 25 SMTP Denied Connection 204.13.249.73 External
Local Host - -
</snip>
One that preceded the red entries:
<snip>
156 0x80074e21 FWX_E_ABORTIVE_SHUTDOWN 0x0 0x0 Firewall 3/18/2008
3:36:05 PM 192.168.1.10 25 SMTP Closed Connection SBS Smtp Server
Access Rule 204.13.249.73 External Local Host - -

</snip>
With the re-build on the server, ISA 2004 is "new" and has no changes
from the default settings (plus whatever SP2 adds).

Even checked my router logs - nothing.

What am I missing? Are the above ISA entries the reason, or are they
"normal"?

TIA,
Mike
