Rep Power: 0 | I have just installed and configured a new Exchange 2006 server. I have got this external dns mail.xxxx.org which I use for all our external e-mails. It forwards all external e-mail. I have set up a connector through the hub transport but the e-mails are getting stuck saying unreacheable. Is there any thing that i am missing that i need to do. I have put a MX record in my own dns pointing to my external DNS. But i am a little confused. Faza |

![]() | Didn't know there was exchange 2006 Have you forward the correct ports and let enough time for the mx records to kick in? |

![]() | On you router, you will need to forward the appropriate ports for exchange to work. |

Rep Power: 0 | We do not have control of our router it is centrally controlled. But we had a Exchange Server 2003 system before so should the router alreadyt be setup and ready? |

Rep Power: 29 | I assume it's similar for 2008, but on 2003 you need to configure the forwarding mail relay on the smtp connector. From the mail server try: telnet mail.xxx.org 25 (type "quit" to exit). If you get a response from telnet and the relay is set correctly in the smtp section on exchange it should work. |

Rep Power: 18 | Put the server on the same IP address as the old server and I expect it will work, as long as all your other settings are correct! Your router will be configured to route SMTP traffic to a certain address, and I expect the mail server your outbound mail forwards to is setup to only receive mail from a specific address within your organisation, so as to stop open mail relay and possible abuse of the e-mail server(s).
