How can I setup our Exchange Server to route email automatically? - Change the Smart host to DNS on the Send conenctor :) .... Once done restart the Transport service.

Don't forget to put the rules in the firewall for port 25.
Change it to "Use DNS" instead.
In EMC go to Org Config -> Hub Transport -> Send Connectors tab -> Select Internet send connector -> Properties -> Network tab and select the option for "use DNS MX record"
Once done as said restart transport service :)

Thus I need an Internet facing IP address and reverse DNS entry for the new SMTP server e.g. MailUK.CompanyName.com? Currently all this is handled by the hosting company.
The Exchange Server will be behind an internal firewall thus do I just use the Internet facing IP address of the internal firewall? Thus outgoing email traffic picks up this IP as the source and incoming Email traffic is also routed then Natted from the firewall to the server?
in terms of DNS servers in Exchange do I just list the DNS servers of our new ISP?

Taking into acocunt the DNS records indicated above how do I manage the DNS for Outlook Web Access?
Do I need anoher internet facing IP for this and add another A record?
If so where is this IP referenced on the firewall and Exchange 2007 server?
