Assigning my internet Domain name to Exchange

I have my local domain as (mydomain.local). I bought a
domain name ( mydomain.com).

I pointed my MX record to my server and still I can not
receive E-mails from internet clients. Do I have to
contact my Domain vendor (Network solutions)?

Also, do I have to create an A record pointing to my
external address or my exchange server?



Thanks,

Did you re-run ICW and make sure that you setted up SMTP
mail correctly? Check that you can telnet to port 25 from
an external computer.

You don't need to point the MX-record, your ISP needs to do that.
You only have to create an A-record, if your AD-domain is the same name as
your internetdomain.
