SME 5.5 and delegate mail server

External NIC (24.85.200.66)
SME SERVER 5.5
Internal NIC (192.168.1.1)

Exchange 5.5 Server (192.168.1.20)

In this example, only internal mail seems to be routing to the Exchange server if the exchange server is delegated as the mail server in the SME 5.5 server manager.

Does the exchange server need to have an external address to receive external mail? I thought that all mail destined for 24.85.200.66 would be delegated to the exchange server at 192.168.1.20?

Do I need to set up an SMTP port forward? Am I missing something here?

No.

That should be the case.

I don't believe so. Please report suspected bugs to bugs@e-smith.com, or to your Mitel authorized partner if the server is supported.

Thanks,

Hi Ari!,

Portforwarding does the job.

Forward port 25 from 192.168.1.1 to port 25 on 192.168.1.20

I've done this in SME 5.1.2 and it works well.

SME SMTP server knows to send mail on to Exchange as it is the delegate

The exchage server needs to relay to the SME SMTP server, so set
that up in echange.

You don't need to portfw anything.

It works fine in the previous version

Got it all figured out.

It was an error on my Exchange configuration. Sheesh. My bad.

Everything works fine now.

Without portforwarding to the exchange server I can't receive e-mail, sending is ok.
Any ideas how come?
