I am haveing a problem sending outbound mail to external address from my exchange server,

I don't really understand what is happening so if anyone has a suggestion please let me know

I am able to send and recieve internally as well as receive from external account ie. hotmail etc, but all of my users are unable to send to external addresses.

I don't know why this is

the error message I get looks like this.

It sounds like a connectors problem.
Check the Site Container, then Connectors, SMTP Connector. Check that its configured for your ISP

by yorkster

on your outlook client goto tools, services,then select the delivery tab and make sure you are delievering mail using the exchange transport not the remote transport, also in your exchange admin console make sure your IMS connector is set for inbound and outbound on the connections tab.if thats ok try to telnet to your exchange server using port 110 and try to send mail through telnet
hope this helps

I would bet on a problem with configuration on the Connections tab on the Internet Mail Service properties page.

If there is not an SMTP server through which you are routing your external mail, in the Message Delivery box, you should check to UseDNS. Otherwise, you should enter the name of the SMTP server and check Forward to.

Then make sure Transfer Mode is Inbound and Outbound. I would also recommend that you check the box to enable message tracking (on the Internet Mail tab).

I'massuming your client setup is okay since mail is moving internally.

Best wishes,

First of all please let me know how does your setup works

Do u have a enterprise mail server installed which is forwarding all the mails ?

Secondly is you mail server a local domain & a sub site for the enterprise server.

for e.g. does yourmachine show address as xxx@servername.sitename.com

If so than whatever third party software you are using to forward your SMTP & POP3 mails u should use a command for outbounding your mails.

Generally this third party software have commands to router the mails wherever you want for stopping & starting the mails to coming in & out of the server.

CHeck out your backend software which loop backs your exchange mail.

Generally there is a command "put account file" in the subject to outbound your messages try that ?
