Exchange 2007 SMTP Domains

I"m setting up a test organization with Exchange 2007.  The domain name inside is divind.internal and the public domain is divind.com.  I can connect to the Exchange server with Outlook 2007 no problem and send to anyone else using a divind.internal address.  When I try to send an email out to the Internet, I get the following error:

Microsoft Exchange couldn't deliver the message to this recipient because it didn't recognize you as a valid sender. Please verify that you have the correct sending address configured in your e-mail client and try sending your message again, or provide the following diagnostic text to your system administrator

The following organization rejected your message: imta20.emeryville.ca.mail.comcast.net.

Now, I know that .internal is not routable over the Internet and .com is.  How can I get this annoying error to go away?

Have you setup divind.com as an accepted domain?

EndureKona,

I went into organization Configuration > Hub Transport > Accepted Domains > New Accepted Domain and did add that domain.  Divind.com is the domain that users outside my organization would send to while divind.internal is the name of my domain inside the LAN.  

The problem happens when I send to an outside address like Comcast.

You know what I just noticed, I sent to a Gmail account and didn't get the error.  Is there something wrong with my DNS records for divind.com?

If your sending out email you want to ensure your have MX records and PTR records porperly setup.   Did you just setup this divind.com accepted domain?   If clock on the Email Address Policies (Exchange Management Console -->  Org Config --> Hub Transport -->  email address policies)  
And add divind.com and set as the primary and make sure it changes all the mailboxes to use divind.com as the primary.   My guess is still when you send its going out as users@divind.local  you want this to be set as com.

I have an accepted domain for both divind.internal and divind.com.  They are both authoritative.  I did nothing in Email Address Policies but there appears a Default Policy in this list with the lowest priority.  Under Applied, the Default Policy says False.  How would I change the primary to divind.com for all mailboxes?

Ok, I did that. The emails go out and I don't get an error back from the Exchange server.  However, the emails didn't show up in the destination's inbox.  Tried sending to an external .net, .com, and Gmail account.  Before, the emails were at least going to the Gmail account.  Now they don't.  They're not in the Queue, I checked.

Ok, I put something in wrong in the Email Address Policy.  When I added divind.com, there was a %m in front of it.  I edited the divind.com and unchecked the box for Email address local part, and the problem went away.  Can now send/receive externally no problem!  

Thanks for your help!  This Exchange stuff is not so easy.  I'm reading an MS Press book on how to do this, and it's tough.  The examples they give you, I try to apply to my real domain in a test VM.  Not very simple with all the connectors, policies, shell, folders, etc.

If anyone's interested about the book, the one I got was VERY helpful in learning Exchange 2007.  In fact, I feel like I can tackle a full Exchange environment now.  The book is a MS Press book titled Configuring Microsoft Exchange Server 2007, ISBN: 978-0-7356-2410-8
