The connection to the server has failed. Account: Testserver, Server: Testserver, Protocol: POP3, Port: 110, Secure(SSL): No, Socket Error: 10061, Error Number: 0x800CCC0E
When i telnet the port 25 i am getting 220 CORLOCENG1.testqalab.com Microsoft ESMTP MAIL Service, Version: 6.0.3790.1830 ready at Wed, 10 May 2006 17:51:48 +0100

go to smtp virtual server...right click..properties\ACCESS\R
here u have to be carefull....
first make sure to check "ONLY THE LIST BELOW" and make sure the list below is empty...unless u have web servers or other applications from inside ur network sending emails through ur exchange...
then u check "ALLOW COMPUTERS WHICH bla bla" ....by checking this option u allow ur external users to send through ur exchange server(like u do with ur ISP)...
there is a bit of drawback with this option....if someone could GUESS one of ur users
password then u will be open to relay eventhough u have relaying denied......so make sure to have a strong password and require ur users to change them occassionally....
