No Exchange IMAP email inside LAN
Experts, I have a situation where a client is running Windows server 2003 and exchange 2003 and the problem is If I'm inside the LAN, using a laptop, I cannot access the users exchange email by accessing via IMAP. However, If I go outside the LAN, like from someone's home, using the same set up they can access their exchange mail account via IMAP.
All the clients desktop are using Outlook or Entourage with an exchange server setup and sending/receiving email with no problem.

Sorry...which type of record, and would that be in the forwarding lookup zone or somewhere else?
ASKER
Never mind...just caught the "a" record...
ASKER
Should there be a particular name for this record?
No just
mail.domain.com > ip address of exchange - type A record
mail.domain.com > ip address of exchange - type A record

Ok in my case my mail domain is different. For example
my FQDN is domain.net, but the exchange server imap and smtp is named mail.mymail.org. So with that in mind, should the
Record be mail.domain.net or mail.mymail.org?

This solution is only available to members.
To access this solution, you must be a member of Experts Exchange.
Go to the dc
Start run
Dnsmgmt.msc
Create an a record with your imap server fqdn to point to lan ip of exchange
From the workstation, see if you can ping the fqdn by name and then start outlook
Fqdn should respond with lan ip of exchange server
Thanks
