we need to know the real FQDNs

The simple answer is yes...its a dns issue

Have you spoken with the people who host your DNS for assistance.

And there was no need for the CName

Most likely when you ran the CEICW for SBS and created the Cert...it was for servername.domainname.net

I recently converted a peer network to AD with SBS 2003 Standard with 2
NIC's, Firewall Enabled, etc. This network used POP3 prior. I ran all wizards
needed.
On Staurday I changed DNS records by creating an AREC for fully qualified
domain name of "servername.domainname.net" pointed to our static ip, created
a CNAME of "vpn.servername.domainname.net" to go to AREC above for remote
access using Outlook over http for remote users and finally an MX record of
"servername.domainname.net" with a value of 10. I deleted all instances of
POP3 DNS records for POP3 and waited for propogation. It has been over 60
hours since changes were made and if I look at MXToolBox.com and run
diagnostics it shows that I connect if I put in our static ip but I get the
connection only sometimes if I try to run diagnostics using
"servername.domainname.net". Is this a DNS problem? I am confused because of
the two different failure notices which I receive when sending mail to my
e-mail addresses. Failure Messages are Sorry, I couldn't find a mail
exchanger or IP address. (#5.4.4) if I use Yahoo Mail and
xx.xx.xx.xx does not like recipient.
Remote host said: 550 5.7.1 Unable to relay for
"user@xxxxxxxx"
Giving up on xx.xx.xx.xx
if I use our web based mail which can still connect on occasion to Outlook
even though I deleted these DNS records about 60 hours ago. Reason why I am
confused is the line that says xx.xx.xx.xx does not like recipient where
xx.xx.xx.xx is our static IP. Is my server rejecting connections? I do not
have filters or RBL's enabled yet.
