exchange 2003 incoming email connection refused
Hi all and thanks in advance,
I'm having an issue with a SBS2003 with exchange 2003. I've set up a new web domain name which we are going to use within the recipient policy. They already have several domain names so nothing new but, with the new domain name I'm getting a bounch back saying the connection is refused. This is coming from the external ISP "4.4.0 - Other network problem '[Errno 61] Connection refused'". Now this domain name isn't setup any different to the other domain names but this is only happening with the new domain name.
I am running Sophos PM and I have set that up as the others as well. The only thing different to this domain name to the others is a different DNS host but I can ping and telnet to the address and get the same response as the other domains.
I just don't know what else to do and they are trying to roll out the rebranding with the new domain name and this is holding them back now.
Regards
Tim

Thanks for that,
SPF isn’t a problem
MX is fine
and the certificates are updated as well
But I this have the bounce back. Any thing else? It looks like it’s the sbs server itself but I can’t understand why this one’s not working and four others are fine.

I’ve also disabled Sophos PM to eliminate that and it’s not the problem
Can you confirm where you have entered the new Domain etc?
Exchange Gateway – Hub transport etc????
Can you post the headers?
OK in the Exchange System Manager -> recipient -> recipient policy -> default policy -> Email addresses (policy) and as smtp and *@newdomain.com.au
No Exchange Gateway or Hub transport it’s exchange 2003
and he’s the header from the bounced message,

Hi all,
I could go ahead for this. Open cmd prompt, do a telnet localhost 25, if that doesnt work…. do telnet IP address of exchange 25, now type ehlo
you will see some verbs, now type in…
mail from: xyz@microsoft.com
rcpt to: abc@yourdomain.com
data
Tesnet test mail
.
quit
———in rcpt put in a user emaill address on your exchange server and in mail from type in any external email address of urs…..
check if you get this mail…………………
Yes the internal telnet message worked
I think I have worked out what is wrong. This is something with the DNS hosting when you ping the mail.domainname.com it shows the mail server IP address but if I search for DNS records it’s not shown a MX record and when I’ve traced an email it goes to the web site IP not the mail record.
