Hi,
thanks for your help, I did all the test you asked me to do and everything
was fine.
I finally look at my outlook to see if the account was set up correctly, I
realized that by going under outgoing server and checking the cehckbox that
my server SMTP require authtication , I was able to send email to any domain
name. So that is a good thing.
I am also able to receive email now from any domain name, but it takes
about 1 hours from the moment the email is sent to the moment I receive it,
is ther anything I can do to make it go faster ?
In outlook, for the pop3 and SMTP, I put the ip adress of the exchange
server, is that the correct way of doing it?
Thanks again for your help
