Since you changed your ISP. There is a few things you need to.
1. Change the NAT policy on firewall with new static ip address, which your new ISP has provided to you.
2. Change the DNS server address in your Default SMTP Virtual server Properties.
3. Change the MX record for your domain.
4. Change the A host record for the host mail.yourdomain.com
5. Ask the new ISP to change the PTR record for the new static ip address which was issued to you.
6. You might also have to change the NS record for your domain, if the NS record for your domain is pointing to your old ISP Name Sever.
If you have anymore questions, please don't hesitate to ask?
Cheers,

NITADMIN, I have some questions...
1. the server is already receiving mail, this is obviously done
2. why would you configure static DNS addresses here at all?
3. also, obviously done - the server is receiving mail
4. see point 4
5. what makes you think that the new ISP is hosting the DNS records?
5a. even if the old IP address had the old pointer, what would it matter? you need a NEW pointer, which is on the address, not domain
6. why would you need to change NS records?

Thankyou -REd and NITADMIN
alot of helpfull information here that helped me get it all running again 100%
it was to do with the Virtual DNS delevery
i changed the DNS to the correct addresss of the new ip and its seems to be ok now.... mail takes alittle bit longer to reach like an extra 5 - 10mins but all working anyway
Cheers to Red and also to NITADMIN

Just in regards to this topic.
I have found again some problems... Another reason for mail being not sent and delayed is i have looked in the administrator groups/ server QUEUES and found a mass build up of spam. and possibly viruses on the server. the email is building up from SPAM every seconded causing it to jam all emails from massive spam.
Im just trying to figure a solution to get rid of it.

Windows 2003 and Exchange 2003?
If so, recipient filtering and tarpitting should drop all the incorrectly addressed spam at the gateway, which will mean that exchange will not try to send NDRs to non existant domains
If it is exchange 2000, then you will need something else, such as GFI MailEssentials/MailSecurit

Make sure that your Gateway server is able to resolve the External DNS and able to connect to the SMTP port 25 externally. If the mails are not going then do the SMTP test and find if there is any issue with the Gateway server.
Follow these article and test the SMTP gateway
