Secondly, what are the settings to forward emails from
user@calruralhousing.org to the server calruralhousing.net? Our server is
not picking up email from outside users and I need to fix this ASAP!!!

Thank you for all the help,

Your domain really is calruralhousing.net there is no MX record or Host
records on the internet for that domain. A good place to start would be to
have whoever is hosting your DNS records for the domain to add them. Next
we need to have a recipient policy on the server for that domain. The users
have to have the domain in Active directory users and computers. Then we
need to know if mail is being delivered directly to your server or if you
are popping it down from your ISP or someother pop3 server. Then we can
assist in configuring your server to receive mail for the domain

Look forward to hearing from you

I apologize for the quick original note. After reading both your original
responses, I will try to explain in more detail, what is going on.

I have two separate domains; calruralhousing.org and now
calruralhousing.net. Our organization website is calruralhousing.org, so I
registered calruralhousing.net to be used for the server URL so that staff
can use calruralhousing.net/remote to use RWW. That works great as a matter
of fact. Previously we had a private ISP hosting our site and our email, and
acting was acting as our DNS server. However, now that we are running SBS
2003 Premium, and have a direct T1 line we should be able to host our own
email and website from the server, correct?

Our staff has emails that are somename@calruralhousing.org. On the server,
because the server is calruralhousing.net the default email address is listed
as calruralhousing.net. When we attempted to make the switch from the ISP
hosting our email over to hosting on Exchange running on the server box,
people no longer were receiving their emails, and mail was being sent as
somename@calruralhousing.NET, not ORG.

First, should I change the default email on the server to
@calruralhousing.ORG? Or leave it as NET?

Second, I understand from my ISP that he has calruralhousing.net listed in
his DNS records and is serving that information. I registered
calruralhousing.net back in March. Does anyone know why when people do an
nslookup the calruralhousing.net doesn’t appear? What has to be done to
correct this? Does anyone know a willing DNS host?

What next?

Thanks for the support, Steve

Hi Steven,

There still is no MX record for your domain. You will have to ask your ISP
to create it and let it point to your public IP.
