I cannot send mail via SMTP to my Exchange Server

I think I am rather close to using Exchange to obtain email via SMTP rather than using the POP3 connector. But, I still am doing something wrong based on the fact that I can't receive email. :-(  The steps I have already taken are:

Went to domainit.com and changed the MX record from mail.domainit.com to mail.riverviewpediatrics.org
Reconfigured the SBS via CEICW by changing the check boxes to send email directly to the Exchange Server.

I then (I think) opened the port 25 in Cisco PIX 501. See config below:


pixfirewall# conf t
pixfirewall(config)# show config

These are some error messages I received:
I don't think they have much to do with it, because they seem to come and go after running CEICW

==========================================
W3SVC service is Stopped.
This service provides Web connectivity and administration through the Internet Information Services snap-in.
==========================================
MSExchangeIS service is Stop Pending.
This service manages the Exchange mailbox and public folder stores. If this service is stopped, mailbox stores and public folder stores on the Small Business Server computer are unavailable.
==========================================
RESvc service is Stop Pending.
This service provides Exchange routing services using link state information. If this service is stopped, messages are not routed by the Small Business Server computer.
==========================================
And, I am constantly getting the MMC Snap-In is not working.

I realize this may be more than one question. I am just not sure if the problem is with the PIX and opening the port or if it is something directly inherent with Exchange as I may not have configured something correctly. Please let me know if I need to post it in two separate places.
