exchange 2007 sending emails
i am trying to setup a new exchange 2007 server. it is a stand alone server with out and edge trsnsport. We are using a Spam filter to send out going emails.
My issue;
After setting up the exchange, i am able to do everything but recivie any emails. I am able to send to internal email, and external email fine, but when people reply test emails they are getting
"The e-mail system was unable to deliver the message, but did not report a specific reason. Check the address and try again. If it still fails, contact your system administrator.
< maila.Sanmanuel.com #5.0.0 X-Spam-&-Virus-Firewall; host 10.232.44.16[10.232.44.16]
"
So after looking around i read that i should try a command on the command line in shell. which is
set-receiveconnector -permissiongroups anonymouseuers
but i got this error message.
the operation could not be performed because object 'servername" could not be found on domain controller..
so im confuse if this is an email issue or a DNS issue. or if i am even doing the command right. for the servername i am putting in my exchange server name.
please help.

Hi,
Go to www.mxtoolbox.com, Check MX records there, ....
Also verify on the Exchange Server --> EMC | Server configuration | Hub Transport | Default (Receive connector) | Permissions Group | Check - Anonymous users

@ Alanhardisty, I think the MX record is correct because I am able to send out to external emails like yahoo and aol accounts. I figured if the MX record was wrong, yahoo or aol would reject it. The problem I am having is, when people reply to the email. They get a rejection.
The MX record should be setup. The domain is mysmbmi.com.. When you do an MX record lookup for that, you'll get the external ip for maila.sanmanuel.com.. the .

I was able to set the anonymous though the EMC and now looks like everything is work. I am able to send and receive. Why wouldn't it work though the shell, Is setting up the exchange with anonymous dangerous?

When dealing with a problem like this it's not sufficient to "think" the MX records are set up properly. You need to know. Thus use the tool nslookup:
> set type=mx
> maila.sanmanuel.com
Server: xxx.xx
Address: 192.168.1.254
sanmanuel.com
primary name server = cbru.br.ns.els-gms.att.net
responsible mail addr = rm-hostmaster.ems.att.com
serial = 4
refresh = 10800 (3 hours)
retry = 3600 (1 hour)
expire = 604800 (7 days)
default TTL = 86400 (1 day)
> exit
C:\Utils>ping rm-hostmaster.ems.att.com
Ping request could not find host rm-hostmaster.ems.att.com.
Hence no (public) MX record. There you have it.

Have you opened up TCP port 25 on your firewall and is it being forwarded to your Exchange server or your spam solution?
