Exchange 2000 with a POP – Connector

[cpaun]

Hi,

We have Exchange 2000 with a POP – Connector as E-mail Server, the DNS works on the same machine, also both with same IP: 172.XXX.XXX.XXX, the domain name is “yyyyyyyy.local�. Hostname and PTR is O.K on DNS.

On Exchange Server, outbound connection is on port 26 and the Smart Host is “PROXMOX�, now…., when I send the Reports from PROXMOX to postmaster@yyyyyy.local it works fine but when I send an email to xxxxx@web.de, Exchange can not forward this to PROXMOX!!!
From outside, from xxxxxx@web.de the mail is coming in but when I’m looking the Statistics I see only Incoming Mails nothing in Outgoing Mails.

I have a problem when I try with telnet to connect PROXMOX on port 26 and 25, don’t have connection. Firewall allows forwarding port 25 and 26 from PROXMOX.
The ping it works fine….

Any idea how to do this or what is false configured? Another question, for one domain I don’t need Transports or?

Best Regards
Paun

please check smtp functionality via telnet.

first login on your proxmox and telnet localhost 25/26.
if ok, try the same from your exchange server.

please also ensure that you have a valid internal dns entry for your proxmox and this name should be the smarthost on your exchange. please also verify the right smtp port on your exchange (smtp setting).

if you still have problems, please explain your network settings more detailed (nameservers, firewall settings, network, etc.). you can send this information direct by email (martin@proxmox.com).
