Exchange distribution groups available outside
Hello all,
I have a SBS2008 box with Exchange 2007. I have created distribution groups and they seem to work fine internally. but how do i get them to work from outside? In other words I have a Dist group called Information and the email address i made for it is info@mydomain.com. There are 4 users in this distrgroup. So internally works fine when I send an email all 4 get it. I am now trying to send from any email address outside and does not seem to go through but all email to regular email addresses work fine. Any ideas? The primary smtp address for that dist group is set to info@mydomain.com.
Also, is there a way to make a Security group a dist group as well. I have a sec group named "Allusers" and if i want to make a dist group for it i have to create a second group called Allusers2 because it will not let me use the same name for dist group. Of course i can only use the sec group for assigning permissiosn to folder and files. Anyway to use just one group name? Thanks,
