Status: offline 		I am having a time getting messages inbound.. I can send internally as well as external but none comes in. This is a stand alone exchange 2003 server behind an ISA firewall with a published server rule created to foward port 25 to the exchange server.. Any Ideas...

Status: offline 		you have a configuration issue somewhere as i cant telnet to your exchange server...see below
Domain rifrafmuzik.com has only one mail-server
Checking mail server (PRI=0) mail.rifrafmuzik.com [69.161.8.59]
Mail server mail.rifrafmuzik.com[69.161.8.59] answers on port 25
Error connecting to mail server mail.rifrafmuzik.com[69.161.8.59] port 25 : Connection reset by peer.
Connection to mail server mail.rifrafmuzik.com[69.161.8.59] lost waiting for status 220
Some of your MX do not work properly

what is 69.161.8.59?? that your ISA box?? assuming it is... make sure exchange default gateway is pointing it your ISA box and make sure the internal nic of ISA doesnt have a default gateway if your ISA box has a inter/exter nic configuration

Status: offline 		You hit it right on the head.. the 69.161.8.59 is my isa server with int/ext configuration. the Int nic does not have a default gateway, and the MX box has the ISA int nic for it's default gateway.. I can see the connection initiating and closing. I'm missing something... [Confused]

Status: offline 		have isa not forward the mail..have isa just let anything on 25 to pass through and go to exchange... know what i mean??? i think there were to ways to do... the one way where communication is down with isa and another where communicationis done directly with exchange...isa just lets it pass through withno intervention

Status: offline 		nope, never worked before.. I am going to try something.. I think the ISA server is the culprit.. I have had the ISA server running for a while now.. Just implementing the MX server.. I will post an update shortly..
