SBS 2003 exchange can receive but not send

Hi All,

This is the first time I have set up exchange so I am sure I have made some really stupid error and I hoping you can help. I have set up exchange to receive mail using the pop3 connector and send through my ISP smtp server.So in the setup using CEICW under the email delivery method I selected 'forward all email to the server of my ISP' and entered mail.bigpond.com. Under retrieval method I selected only 'Use the Microsoft Connector for POP3 Mailboxes'. I set up the pop3 connector with the details and that must be ok because I can recieve email but when I try to send I get a message from system administrator saying cannot send as the address does not belong to the organisation.

I have not done any port forwarding as I was unsure what to do. I this sounds really novice and probably very stupid but I am very new to servers and especially exchange.

Please Help!

Check your send connector^s address space setting.
Try setting it temporarely to * (simply use the asteriks as a placeholder to allow all mails to be send.)
Then try to send a mail. If it goes thorough, then you know the address space was wrong before.

under the address space tab it says Type - SMTP Address -* Cost - 1

What should I change?

Ok I have a bit of an update now. The clients can now send emails to anyone outside our domain. So basically they can send emails everywhere except anything that ends with our domain (ourcompany.org.au) gets rejected automatically.

Any help?

Hi All,

I have since worked out that the problem was I was asking exchange to handle only part of of our domain emails as they are spread across many sites. Even though the solution was something completely different, you didn't have all the information so I have awarded points for your help and time.

Thanks!
