Relay Error

I installed a new exchange server for a new domain called TI.local. Server name: MAIL
Configured firewall to point SMTP to new server IP: 192.168.1.5

our domain is taraink.com

I can send but not receive mail.

Error message:
12.164.49.50 does not like recipient.
Remote host said: 550 5.7.1 Unable to relay for user@taraink.com Giving up on 12.164.49.50.

I created the SMTP connector and compared settings to tother exchange servers that are working ok.

Is it Exchange 2007?
Did you check allow anonymous on the recieve connector authentication?

Exchange 2003
Annonymous Authentication is checked

Can you specify exactly where I should check Annonymous Authentication? I may have it wrong.

Thanks!!!

Check your mx record from www.mxtoolbox.com it sounds like it is not pointing at the external IP address of your router/firewall

AustinComputerLabs

That is checked by default on the SMTP connector in 2003 but not on a recieve connector for 2007.

AustinComputerLabs

Is 12.164.49.50 the external IP address of your router/firewall?

Is this SBS2003? Have you added @taraink.com to your email address policies? Have you ticked the box to sayExchange is responsible for delivery to that domain?

The MX record is correct. Points to our public IP.
How do I add taraink.com to the policies so that the server accepts mail sent to taraink.com? And how do I make my new server responsible for handling taraink.com mail?
