The problem is that we are not able to send or receive email outside of our organization.

I have just installed the Exchange 2010 server (along with Service Pack 2 and all of the other Windows and Exchange server updates).

Internal users can send and receive email without any problems.

However, whenever we try to send to outside email addresses (at other companies, Gmail, Yahoo, or Hotmail email addresses) these emails are never delivered.

Also, whenever users from outside companies or with Gmail, Yahoo, or Hotmail email accounts try to send emails to our organization, they get Non Delivery Receipts (NDRs).

That is what I am trying to fix.

I just got done installing the Exchange 2010 server (along with all of the other updates) and this issue has been occurring from the very start.

This happens with any domain that we address email to.

This is a fresh Exchange 2010 installation that is being set up for the first time. No migration has been performed.

I haven't yet created a Send connector but will be doing that now that I have read the URL hyperlinks from the other posting.

Rancy,

Thank you very much for your help.

I am very new to Exchange server.

I assumed that the Send and Receive connectors were automatically created when Exchange server was installed.

So once I create the Send connector and then add the "Authenticated Users" on the permissions tab on the Receive connector I should be able to send and receive emails without any problems?

Or is there any additional configuration that needs to be done?

I have already created the A and MX records using Godaddy for the domain name that I have registered and am using in this domain to send and receive email using the Exchange 2010 server.

Also, I have gone to MXtoolbox.com, typed in the name of my domain, and then clicked on SMTP test.

The SMTP test tells me that the domain name successfully resolves to the external IP address of my router and then in the Session transcript mentions the correct name of my Exchange server.

As far as I can tell everything is set.

I just want to make sure that there isn't any other manual configuration or setup that needs to be done.

I'm hoping to get this all set up and properly configured before going to bed tonight.
