We are running Exchange Server 2003 SP2 on Server 2003. Webmail (http://yourdomain.com/exchange) is working from the internal network but not from outside the network. When trying to access it from outside it returns a Timed Out error.

Exchange Webmail Works Inside Network But Not Outside

Exchange is the server side of a collaborative application product that is part of the Microsoft Server infrastructure. Exchange's major features include email, calendaring, contacts and tasks, support for mobile and web-based access to information, and support for data storage.

Exchange

Windows Server 2003 was based on Windows XP and was released in four editions: Web, Standard, Enterprise and Datacenter. It also had derivative versions for clusters, storage and Microsoft’s Small Business Server. Important upgrades included integrating Internet Information Services (IIS), improvements to Active Directory (AD) and Group Policy (GP), and the migration to Automated System Recovery (ASR).
