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.

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…………………

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,

Can you confirm where you have entered the new Domain etc?

Exchange Gateway – Hub transport etc????

Can you post the headers?

I’ve also disabled Sophos PM to eliminate that and it’s not the problem

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.

Things to look at -

SPF records for the Domain
MX Records are correct – and return to the right location
Certificates on the server have the NEW Domain details

These are a good place to start.
