| Is your DNS set up correctly? | |
|
| I have the DNS setup correctly I can get all my email from the exchange server but I am not able to send any mail . In the host name I put the Ip address of exchange because that was the only way I was able to retrieve my mail I didi the same for the smtp and I was unable to send . I was thinking does have anything to do with the authentication or encryption on exchange . Thanks for your help | |

| Are you sure your SMTP and POP servers are using the same IP? I am not familiar about Exchange's encryption schemes. | |

| How is your exchange set up? Often, organisations will run more than one server in a sight, and have only the internet-facing (or DMZ) server running the Internet Mail Connector (which handles SMTP,) while the internal servers run POP3 and Outlook services.
If you're sure that SMTP is running on the machine you're specifying, try telneting to port 25 on it (telnet a.b.c.d 25) and see what happens.
