My newly installed Exchange 2003 can't receive email
Hello,
I am having this problem for over a month. I installed Exchange 2003 with sp2 about a month ago. BTW, this is the only server I have. I changed "A" record and "MX" record from the website of my Domain hosting company. I even talked to their tech support to confirm the changes I made. Yes, I can send and receive emails fine within my office network, but OWA doesn't work. When I type "mail.mydomainname.com/exc

can you open OWA locally on the exchange server itself.. go to IE and type localhost/exchange and see if you get OWA.. need to have port 80 forwarded to the server and you will have to have an external host record called "mail" pointing to the external IP address of the server/router

Thank you for prompt response. Yes, OWA works on the server. I typed "mydomain.local/exchange" and I was prompted with OWA logon screen.
Can you telnet to port 25 inside the firewall?
telnet 192.168.1.1 25
If you can then the problem is not with Exchange.
Router is the primary place I would be looking.
Have you attempted to change any of the settings on Exchange to set restrictions on the traffic in any way? Made attempts to "secure" the server?

telnet 192.168.1.1 25

It looks like I can't telnet to port 25. I have the following message. "Connecting To 192.168.1.1... Could not open connection to the host, on port 25: Connect failed.
I use Netgear WTG624 router and under content filtering of the router's settings menu, I don't see nay blocked ports.
No, I didn't change any settings on Exchange to set restrictions in any way.
