New Installation of SBS2008, Can send email utilizing Exchange, cannot receive.
Hey,
I have a new SBS2008 installed and setup to be able to access from the Internet. I used all wizards to connect to the Internet and setup your Internet address.
I have a firewall on the front of the network that is port forwarding. I have setup SMTP port forwarding for port 25 to the server.
Here is the status:
I can send from Exchange to any public email address. My MX records are setup and resolving correctly. I am not on any blacklists.
I cannot receive any mail. I thought it might be the firewall, so I got on the local LAN and performed a telnet on port 25.
Error received:
Connecting To 192.168.50.120...Could not open connection to the host, on port 25
: Connect failed
Microsoft Exchange Transport is installed? Thoughts? I am at a loss ATM.
Thank you,
Shawn

Thank you, I manage a client of mine's network. He also makes changes on his own. I went into the Hub and found that the SMTP requests were only received on IP address 192.168.50.2 NOT 192.168.50.120. So I changed it and now the server receives requests on port 25. THANK You,
Now when I email, I get a reject from the server saying :
Delivery to the following recipient failed permanently:
smring@domain.com
Technical details of permanent failure:
Google tried to deliver your message, but it was rejected by the recipient domain. We recommend contacting the other email provider for further information about the cause of this error. The error that the other server returned was: 550 550 5.1.1 User unknown (state 14).
What would recommend? I contacted the client. So he connected the wrong port on the back fo his server after a time he shut it down. Couldn't connect and ran the wizards...UGH, definately will make sure he doesn't do that again.
I would assume if I run the wizards again, everything will go back on track...thoughts?
Thank you for your help above it identified the issue for me to start asking the client what happened.
