Hi,
I'm trying to setup my SMTP service in Win 2003 SBS. My local domain
name is domain.local and I have pointers setup to my external DNS server
which is hosted by my ISP. I can do nslookup on all my computers and mail
server and resolve any FQDN I type in. When I try to send an email to anyone
ouside my network, I get this message saying:

<mailserver.domain.local #5.1.8 smtp;501 5.1.8 Domain of sender address
me@domain.local does not exist - on relay of: MAIL FROM:me@domain.local>

Can anyone please help? Thanks in advance

Do you have a Registered Internet Email Domain name? If so, simply follow
the SBS 2003 Configure E-Mail and Internet Wizard to send/receive SMTP mail.

Or, to be more helpful to people searching HERE for information and don't
want another runaround to infinite articles, etc...

These steps are ripped from a KB article (#319759, but I've modified the
steps to SET this field, not clear it; the article deals with another issue.)

--- begin revised include from KB article ---
Modify the default SMTP Virtual Server properties to set message forwarding
for unresolved recipients. To do this, follow these steps:
a. In Exchange System Manager, expand Administrative Groups, expand First
Administrative Group, expand Servers, expand ServerName, expand Protocols,
expand SMTP, and then click Default SMTP Virtual Server.

NOTE: You may have to expand SMTP Virtual Servers before you can click
Default SMTP Virtual Server item.
b. Right-click Default SMTP Virtual Server, and then click Properties.
c. Click the Messages tab.
d. In the "Forward all mail with unresolved recipients to host" box, enter
your the SMTP server assigned to you by your ISP, and then click OK.
--- end included text ------

I changed step D as I said above. Exchange defaults to use its internal DNS
to resolve mail and stuff. These steps will allow the ISP DNS to resolve
unknown email domains.

There is no run around here, I am posting relevant articles that are
specific to question posted. Most users find that a detailed article with
pictures is very helpful to them. If the post needs further explaination
then I will help them accordingly.

You are being very helpful. I sincerely apologize for my snyde remark to
begin my previous post. This is a helpful and knowledgeable community for
which I am grateful. I will try to not let my frustrations get the better of
me in the future.

Thank you for your efforts... and your patience.
