You simply need to create the smtp virtual servet (under administrative groups, first administrative group, servers, "yourservername", smtp. The defaults should be fine. Then create an smtp connector (under administrative groups, first administrative group, server, connectors) specify an * as the email domain (the default) and you should be all set

Thank you for answering back. let me add one more thing to my query that all my remote locations are using a SMTP Server( for sending internet mails) which we have taken on lease from our local ISP. So after doing all these changes , should my remote locations be able to use my exchnage server as SMTP server. In the present scenario they define Public IP of exchange server in incoming-mail server field of their outlook express software and in similar fashion can they define same public IP in out-going mail server field of Oulook express software and able to send internet mails also.
Remind you that we have defined Recipient policy for all Remote locations in Exchange Server.
Like for domain microsoft.com , user in Marketing Deptt have email address xyz@marketing.microsoft.com similarly our all Remote locations are using city prefix before the domain name.
