Hi,

I'm new to Exchange 2003 and have just performed a default install. I can send email but when the recipient tries to reply they get:
"Unknown user: paul@xxxxx.com
RCPT TO generated following response:
550 5.7.1
Unable to relay for paul@xxxxx.com"

If I switch back to my old POP server everything works fine, so I'm guessing I've done something wrong configuring Exchange.
Any ideas?
Paul

If you can't receive email into your Exchange org then you should check that you have your MX records setup and your A records set up for on an authoritative DNS server at your company or at your ISP most likely. If you have just done this then wait a while since the new records must propagate to all email servers on the Internet.
