Hi! All, I have a situation here. I have setup a exchange server 2007 for testing. I am able to send emails internally - i.e between MS outlook on 2 other win XP machines. Even the OWA is working fine for me internally. Now I wanted to test sending an email to my yahoo ID, firstly is this possible??? I dont have an external IP nor is my dummy domain "xyz.com" is registered on the Internet. I believe to receive an email from external world - my domain has to be registered and an MX record has to be there on my ISP DNS server. Someone please give me step-by-step and places where I have to configure for sending email to external ID. Appreciate your help. Thank you Regards Ven

I suggest you repost in microsoft.public.exchange.admin.

Well, technically, all you need is an A record, but yes, overall you're correct. > > Someone please give me step-by-step and places where I have to > configure for sending email to external ID.
