Hi, <br />
<br />
This is my first time setting up an exchange server from home so please bear with.. <br />
<br />
Basically I've brought a domain &quot;plushdafunk.com&quot; and had my registra (fasthosts) point it to my static IP 81.149.161.172 provided by my ADSL provider (BTopenworld). &nbsp; I've setup my DNS &amp;&nbsp;MX stuff free on web-dns.co.uk. &nbsp; <br />
<br />
I setup my Exchange 2003 srv and used the wizard to guide me through my Mail SMTP connector... &nbsp;Sending Email works fine, but I can't receive Email. :( <br />
Opened up port 25 to my Exch srv on my router/firwall - I can Telnet to it from external.<br />
<br />
I've check my config on <a href="http://www.checkdns.net" rel="ugc">www.checkdns.net</a>&nbsp; and it tells me that Some of my MX do not work properly -Answer from ns1.nsnoc.com: host 10,mail.plushdafunk.com not found. &nbsp; (my server name is not called &quot;mail&quot;) &nbsp;<br />
<br />
Is there a problem with my MX record hosted on web-dns? is it a problem the SMTP connector on my exchange? is there a problem with my Domian DNS setup? Or is it something to do with BTopenworld ? &nbsp; Please help..<br />
<br />

Basically I've brought a domain "plushdafunk.com" and had my registra (fasthosts) point it to my static IP 81.149.161.172 provided by my ADSL provider (BTopenworld).   I've setup my DNS & MX stuff free on web-dns.co.uk.

Is there a problem with my MX record hosted on web-dns? is it a problem the SMTP connector on my exchange? is there a problem with my Domian DNS setup? Or is it something to do with BTopenworld ?   Please help..
