Hi... I'm having problems using Exchange 2003. I have a website, hosted on the net with the (cloaked here for security reasons) of www.xxxxxxxxxxx.com, with a couple of basic email adresses setup (info@xxxxxxxxxxx.com, ... and so on)
Now we have installed a exchange server in our organistation, but we are connected to the net trough a normal cable internet connection, shared trough a linksys router.
All users have mailboxes setup in Active Directory, and mailing internally goes fine. (internal domain is xxxxxxxxxxx.local)
When we try to send an email to the outside world, the mails don't get delivered. When i look in the queues of the exchange server, the mails get queued, but nothing happens...
What do i need to do to get outbound (and inbound) mails working trough exchange? I searched the net , tried many many things (SMTP connectors and stuff) but nothing seems to work..
Can a expert at this stuff give me a hand?
Thanx !

There are multiple things that have to happen
You need to open your routers port 25 and port 110 to the Exchange servers internal IP. I assume you are behind a router.
You need to change the MX records on your websites DNS records to point to your Exchange Servers (Internet / Public) IP. (Best if you also enter an "A" record for it on that DNS also.) If you don't know how to do that have your hosting company make that change.
If you do not have a static IP this will be an issue and cause your mail to work very intermittently and may even show as SPAM on many systems (the reverse DNS needs to reflect your server - that reverse DNS is an entry your IP supplier has to set you can't. In this case your cable supplier needs to make that entry.) They do allow you to "host a server?" - You may need to check and upgrade your service if they don't.
Other than that is just minor configuration.
You can email me if you need more info. You may well need a local expert who knows how to do this setup your "connection".
Good Luck

you first need to make sure you open up the smtp ports on your router. Did you change your MX record to point to the exchange server. You will need a static IP or use something like dyndns.org.

this is a possibility which you haven't any longer specify an incoming mail server. you will desire to to look at your mail server configuration. pass to gadget -> digital mail Account and spot if your POP3 is typed in wisely.
