How to set up exchange Server 2003 to send and receive emails.
I installed an exchange server in to my Windows Server 2003 with the default setting. I bought a Domain name from europeregistry.com. My domain is: technopc.eu and the windows server has Active directory using the internal domain as technopc.eu. Now I am also hosting my emails with europeregistry.com and they provide webmail service.I would actualy like to use my exchange2003 to send and receive emails and at the moment I cannot receive emails at all in to my exchange server. I notice that i can sent to some address but not all of the in some address i get smtp error delivery that says we cannot accept emails from dynamic ip.If i send an email into my my email@technopc.eu obviously my emails are going in to the company server that is hosting my technopc.eu. 1)How can I redirect the emails from the server of the company that is hosting my emails(europeregistry.com) in to my exchange server?I am using ddns to get a static IP address my ISP doesn't provide one.My isp is tiscali.nl. I know that is possible receive and also send mails using ddns.Basically ddns can convert a dynamic ip into static one isn't?2) I would like to get a step by step on what need to be done to configure an exchange server 2003 to send and receive mails. What i need to do on the internal dns? I am new on exchange environment.
I would like to get easy and unexpensive solution as i am running a very small business.

Do you have your MX records in place yet?

No yet, I am not sure on how to do that. Do I need to do that into my dns server? What exactly i need to configure as mx records my public ip address or..? Please help. I would like to underline that emails cannot be send and received only from the internet, but my exchange works just fine within my internal network.
Thanks
Thanks
Your External DNS server is where the MX records are stored.

I am sorry but I didn't get it. DNS server from my ISP or my domain register? I need to know how to do that.
What phisically I need to do? I can access a controll panel from my domain register where I can edit the dns server but there is nothing on this control panel about mx records. Please could you be more clear?
If you need exstra details just tell me and i will provide to you.

Make sure you open/forward the proper ports on your firewall appliance as well.
Many people forget to do it and then wonder why certain components of exchange don't work.

Hello I only opened port 25 for smtp comunication there are other port that need to be opened. Everything seems to work fine and I don't have any pop 3 client or imap 4 so...
Let me know if I am wrong.

Only if you have certain services running. Such as the Outlook Anywhere (HTTPS based Authentication). It requires a few, but if you don't have an issue yet, it's probably not something you've enabled. =) cheers.
Glad it works.
