Unable to receive mail from internet - 29.Sep.2008 7:58:14 AM
I have configured Exchange 2003 for SBS. I can send receive mail inside the intranet. Can send the mail to internet domain like yahoo and hotmail. But i am unable to receive mail from outside world.
My Domain is with godaddy.
When i do mx lookup from mxtoolbox.com it shows 0.0.0.0 as ip address.
I have pointed my server ip address from godaddy. Also created a mx record mail.mydomain.net
I can telnet into my exchange from outside.
Somebody please help.
Thanks in advance
Vikas

Do you have some configuration sort of Internet - ISP - {{{ Firewall - Exchange }}}
If its similar then your MX record REGISTERED at your ISP should be the external IP of your Firewall - which would NAT and forward emails (on port 25) to Exchange server.
Remember, you dont require MX to send emails - you can simply create a SMTP Connector and have the smart host as your ISP - thats it.
Please check the ip address and its location with your ISP for MX registered with them.
My domain is with godaddy. I have created MX record as mail.mydomain.net and host A record pointing to my Public IP provided by the ISP. My domain is not registered with ISP. Its with godaddy.com.
Do i need to do some settings from my ISP optusnet.
I have configured smart host. I can able send email to internet addresses but cant receive reply.
Do i need to change name server at godaddy. By default it has two ns server.
Also when i send mail it to exchange from outside it comes with

Hi,
The coinopsolutions.net does have an mx record which points to mail.coinopsolutions.net when you do a lookup for that it won't exist. So you will need te create an a record for this which points to your external IP.
C:\>telnet mail.coinopsolutions.net 25 Connecting To mail.coinopsolutions.net...Could not open connection to the host, on port 25: Connect failed
This makes me think whats wrong with this server not accepting connection over port 25 - please check firewall settings to allow connection over port 25 at your ISP end for your IP and your end ofcourse.

Buddy, i am not sure but your mx server mail isn't showing good response.
Checkdns.net has this to say for your domain.
CheckDNS.NET tests mail-servers
CheckDNS.NET is testing coinopsolutions.net
CheckDNS.NET is asking root servers about authoritative NS for domain Got DNS list for 'coinopsolutions.net' from f.gtld-servers.net Found NS record: ns19.domaincontrol.com[216.69.185.10], was resolved to IP address by f.gtld-servers.net Found NS record: ns20.domaincontrol.com[208.109.255.10], was resolved to IP address by f.gtld-servers.net Domain has 2 DNS server(s) CheckDNS.NET is verifying if NS are alive DNS server ns19.domaincontrol.com[216.69.185.10] is alive and authoritative for domain coinopsolutions.net DNS server ns20.domaincontrol.com[208.109.255.10] is alive and authoritative for domain coinopsolutions.net 2 server(s) are alive CheckDNS.NET checks if all NS have the same version All 2 your servers have the same zone version 2008092200 CheckDNS.NET tests mail-servers Domain coinopsolutions.net has only one mail-server Answer from ns19.domaincontrol.com: host mail.coinopsolutions.net not found. Some of your MX do not work properly
Please ESCALATE this matter with godaddy guys - since we are already having two such exact same issue with different clients - both are advised to get issues sorted from GoDaddy guys.
Technically speaking your mails should be routed to your ISP and they should forward your mails to your Exchange server - you could contact them and ask them to send emails and check their configuration to see if they are clear on their part.
At the moment you are getting sandwiched between godaddy and ISP.
Get the clearance from your ISP - as to can they telnet and email you and check if the traffic is clear from their part - reason why i was suggesting for GoDaddy guys to help you since we are repeatedly getting such similar complains - so its best for GoDaddy guys to clear their doubts before approaching ISP people.

Hi,
This is correct you need to do the same on a machine that looks in the external DNS. The info you've got back now is info from the internal DNS server.
my SMTPVS is stopped and doesnt starts when i click on start.
Event Viewer says:

For more information, see Help and Support Center at http://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/events.asp.
please help

Rename VS1 folder - recreate the folder - try starting SMTP Service - you would find pickup / queue folders being recreated - give full control to Everyone on Pickup folder - check if SMTP Service remains started.
I believe its because of corruption within VS1 folder that causes this issue.
I reinstalled the Exchange 2003 and the smtp seems to be working fine.
But a new problem: i am unable to send mail to outside world(internet):
getting system administrator message;

Change your MX record at GoDaddy to point at your external IP and not the DNS name. This should get things going. Remember to wait 24hours for the change to take effect and if still not working, ring them to confirm.
