I spoke too soon... It appeared that everything worked, but the message got
no where. I am thinking that exchange doesn't have smtp set up correctly to
send things out. With that, I will go into a bit more detail on my sbs
setup.
Since everyone here checks and sends their internet mail through the
'internet email' service in outlook, I don't have SMTP setup on the server
to check email boxes, send emails, or forward to another smpt host. Do I
need to set this up? If so, I want to keep everyone the same as they are
right now, and just add the ability for exchange to connect to our ISP's
smtp for the remote mailboxes.
Anyone have any advice for me?
