I would like to set exchange to receive email, we have a static ip address and want to have the email directed to the server. Instead of having to retrieve it at an interval. Hopefully this all makes sense, This is my first time here and I could not find an answer, if anyone knows if this has already been asked please direct me to that post, thanks.

What version of Exchange? Long, long ago, you could configure your Internet Mail Connector to do dial connections and use the TURN or ETRN and initiate transfer. However, those days are long gone. Another method used is a POP3 connector, but that is also a great big kludge. Exchange was designed to connect to the Internet the right way, by SMTP. Exchange doesn't include such a connector, but Small Business Server does. If you have SBS, you should post questions about that on the SBS forum. Perhaps if you were to explain what your problem is rather than just the solution you propose, you might get a more creative answer.Ed Crowley MVP "There are seldom good technological solutions to behavioral problems."
