I run Small Business Server 2000 at home as I study my MCSE. I have one
Windows 2000 Pro terminal on my network and both my wife and myself have
user accounts. My domain is called skunkwerkz.local

I have a DSL connection with sympatico.ca on my server an the connection is
always active. Using the connection wizard in SBS 2000, my wife and
myself's e-mail accounts are listed in the POP3 connector configuration.
Sympatico's SMTP server is also entered in the connection wizard.

In the Exchange e-mail tab of our profiles, there is an SMTP e-mail address
for my network account at skunkwerkz.local. Also, there is an SMTP e-mail
address for Sympatico and this e-mail address is set as the primary address.

HERE IS THE PROBLEM:

I can send and receive e-mail except that I can not send any e-mail to a
Sympatico account other than my wife. The moment I send an e-mail to
someone with a Sympatico account other than myself, Exchange server bounces
it back as fast as I can push send/receive. The message is that the user
does not exist at the destination.

If I send an e-mail to my wife, who has a Sympatico address, Exchange routes
that to her mailbox.

Somewhere, Exchange thinks Sympatico.ca is local. I have checked the
Recipient Policy and all appears in order. What am I doing wrong?

Thanks

Sounds like your SMTP Server is not configured with
External DNS Servers...so your messages cannot be relayed
outside of the local domain.

It routes to her based on the X.400 address that is what Exchange uses for
internal email routing.

it bounces the outside mail because it cannot find an MX record. Create an
MX record for your email domain and mail will be routed properly.

Richard, where under the Servers section, do I find this? I didn't see it
under SMTP or POP3 under servers.

Kevin, it's only a POP mail account I have. Can I still create an MX record
for that?
We have clients in the field with SBS 2000 installed with POP connectors. I
don't recall MX records being created for them.
Remember, any other mail sent works fine unless it is addressed to a
recipient at sympatico.ca
I have no problems receiving any mail, including mail from outside
sympatico.ca senders.

What about Richard's suggestion about DNS?

By default the SMTP gateway will use the DNS that is specified in the
primary nic. In some occasions setting up an external DNS in Exchange will
break things.

Who is this other person you are trying to send mail to on your domain?

well in that case the mail is poped to the server from an ISP. an MX record
or Mail Exchange record is out there to tell other mail servers where to
send SMTP mail. you need to have a FQDN as an MX record. that FQDN needs to
then have an A record that is associated with your IP

If this is just a home server to play with. goto www.dns2go.com and sign up
for one of there accounts you can get them to host an MX record for you,
even if you have a dynamic IP. this will allow you to work with you mail
server better..

hope some of that made sense. it almost did to me

Kevin, my wife is the only person on my domain with a Sympatico address that

If I try to send an e-mail to my brother who has a Sympatico address and
resides in another city, the e-mail gets sent back.

Back to DNS, I think my primary DNS server was the same as my static IP,
192.168.10.1
Would that not accout why my mail is not being routed? Should I not have
Sympatico's DNS address as a secondary DNS server?

Thanks

Because you have the sumpatico SMTP address, E2K thinks it's hosting that
domain. When you send an email to someone that doesn't have a mailbox on
your E2K it will kick it back. You can test that very quickly. Remove the
SMTP for sympatico from the two accounts and - if you added that domain in
the Global settings, remove it too. On your Outlook create an Internet
account and pull your sympatico mail that way. Now, have a friend test to

mail would fail. Let me know and we can work from there.

Hi Claus,

What you indicate sounds correct and this is the workaround I am trying to
find. It would be no challenge to have Outlook pull the mail in,
The SMTP virtual server #! should be routing to Sympatico's DNS server which
should be resolving all the e-mail addresses and routing them either to the
internet or internal DNS server.

This is the direction I am headed. This weekend I will do another install
of SBS 2000. There goes another 5 hours from my weekend!

It's not going to work. As long as you have sympatico SMTP addresses in your
E2K setup it will not even try to send it outside your organization. As far
as E2K is concerned there is only ONE domain called sympatico and that one
is local.

Hi!

I had exactly the same problem as you. Emphasis on HAD. Here is the
solution:

1. Use DNS delivery, NOT through your ISP
2. Under your EXCHANGE server, Recipient policies,default policy you
have to erase Sympatico domain from e-mail addresses(policy)!

That solved the problem for me! If it solves your problem please
notify me!
