I am able to send and recieve email internally. But noone from the outside can send me email. I have confermed that it does not get returned to them.

You should set an MX (Mail Exchange) in your DNS. MX records [are used to have mail delivered to users on your domain. It MUST have an MX record (not just an A record), primarily because people typically use an E-mail address with your domain name ("joe@mydomain.com"), not a subdomain ("joe@mail.mydomain.com"). -From Oversimplified DNS (http://www.rscott.org/dns/mx.html)]

If you setup your own DNS, under [Server]/Forward Lookup Zones/domain, right-click and click New Mail Exchanger. Enter your Host or Domain, your Mail server and Mail Priority. If you dont host your own DNS or have a forwarding DNS only, you can ask your ISP to set it up for you.
