I just Setup my first server and i am having trouble receiving internet mail. I have Exchange server 2007 and i am able to send out internet mail but not receive it. I have Changed the Default Receive connector to accept anonymous users, have my domain as accepted and have configured the DNS server to my domain. What am i missing? I would appreciate any help

You didn't mention anything about allowing smtp traffic through your firewall/edge router, is that setup? Also, did you setup an MX record for your domain in your external DNS zone? You can run the inbound smtp tests using this tool and let us know what the errors are (if any): https://www.testexchangeconnectivity.com/

I have setup an MX record for the domain, i will double check the windows firewall and run the tool when i get to the office on Monday. Thanks for the quick response

Hi, Have you checked whether this mailbox has something in Accepted/Rejected Sender, and due to that mails are being rejected ? just a thought. May be its worthy to check.

It seems you have some kind of antispam handling inbound emails and not exchange directly. Where is the MX record pointing to ? are they subscribed with Postini or any such service? If you have an antispam maybe it lost sync with the AD it is configured to check if the recipient is in AD but not correctly set to talk with itFull time IT consultant since 1998 mainly on Exchange\ISA\AD MCSE NT4.0,2000/2003, CCNA MCITP: Enterprise Messaging Administrator 2007/2010 MCT since 2001

Hi, If you telnet in your local intranet and send an email, can it go through? If it works, please check your firewall/anti-spam settings. XFOR: Telnet to Port 25 to Test SMTP Communicationhttp://support.microsoft.com/?id=153119
