I assume that he also wants to use the OWA server as an SMTP server. Instead of calling it OWA server he should use a more generic term like "front-end"

The purpose of an MX record is for an SMTP relay host to be able to resolve a specific name. OWA is not an SMTP service. Rather, it is a web pump. It dynamically generates a web page view of the specified content of your server's stores. The protocol that is used to hit the OWA server is something like http or https, hence Martin's answer. One small tidbit. Your OWA users will have to be able to get to the DNS name of the OWA server. -----Original Message----- From: Martin Blackstone [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Tuesday, January 14, 2003 1:11 PM To: Exchange Discussions Subject: RE: MX Record For OWA ? The only port you need is 80 (for HTTP) or 443 (for SSL). You don't want or need an MX record. -----Original Message----- From: Erik Vesneski [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Tuesday, January 14, 2003 1:00 PM To: Exchange Discussions Subject: MX Record For OWA ? Hi, If I am placing an OWA server in my DMZ and have port 25 open on it for internal email and external email to be sent do I need to place an MX record in my external DNS?
