Send mail to the outside...
I just brought a new, the only, Exchange server online. I can receive mail from the outside but I am unable to send. It is hanging in the queue. Where should I look to troubleshoot?

Are all the mails stuck in the Queue or some domains?

If telnet to smtp.gmail.com 25 opens the mx of google welcome screen, then it looks that you have something wrong in your exchange settings.
open Exchange system manager, administrative groups, routing groups, first routing group, connectors.
right-click Internet SMTP connector, in General, what is selected? and what is in the local bridgeheads?
If you are sending emails directly then "Use DNS...." should be selected and the local bridgehead should be the local name of your EXCH server.
Are these settings correct?
