Answer Wiki:
You mention that you checked routing and dns. Good, that's a start. You also mention that your users are not receiving mail nor is mail going out to customers.
Basically, your exchange server is not communicating with the outside world at all. Did it ever? I would start with all of the basics:
What is the default gateway for the exchange server.
Is there a firewall and if so, will it let mail in and out.
Does your dns server point to your isp dns.

If the exchange server can in fact receive traffic to and from the internet. You should try to open a smtp connection to an external server (rules out firewall issue). Open a “cmd” window and enter in this command “telnet mx1.mail.yahoo.com 25″(type in quit to exit connection). Then you should make sure SMTP on exchange is running. This is found in the System Manager –> Administrative Groups –> you domain –> Servers –> your exchange server –> protocols –> SMTP. If there is a “Red Dot” on the Virtual SMTP server, right click and select start. If it does not start then there is a configuration issue.
