Can't receive email but can send email from my MS Exchange 2003
Ok, I have set up my Microsoft Exchange 2003 as best as I could as it was my first time ever configuring it. I can send outgoing email no problem but I can not receive it. I know its my MX records and/or DNS records. I need help on configuring them. I have tried the nslookup and going through those steps but to no avail. I have a website and I named the domain the same thing. Could that be my problem as I can not access my website from the server but only from other computers. as far as the TCP/IP settings go, I have a static IP but I set my DNS servers from the ones listed on my router. My router is configured to allow port 25. My Exchange is located on my Domain Controller and I only have one server. Can anyone please help me? My website is www.nemosolutions.com and my domain is nemosolutions.com. Should I rename my domain and start over? Thanks for any help.

Its a little unorthodoxed to have your MX record pointing at your catch all A record. Try creating a new A record for mail.nemosolutions.com 66.139.77.206 then, point your MX record at mail.nemosolutions.com

I still do not receive email. I can send it no problem. I created the new A record as well as the new MX record you described above. I will see if this works when the DNS re-populates. Thanks for your help.
