Internet Email

Hi
We are setting up a SBS 2003 server and would like to have clients access their email from the Internet (as well as providing remote support). While setting up the server we were asked to create or purchase a certificate. Our external website is held at our ISP and is not connected to our server. While setting up the certificate it asked for our website name. How will clients get into our server for external mail? Do we have to use our server's external IP address? If so, which ports should we open
Thanks for your help
Richard

you are going to need a cert for your server and you'll need a static IP.
The question is, is your ISP hositng your mail and you popping out for it or
are you hosting your own?

It wants the FQDN of your server, not your web site, this has nothing to do
with your web site.

Hi Mark
Does your answer mean that I cannot create the cert using the wizard? The ISP is hosting the email and we just have SBS go up and get it
Thank
Richar
