Hi, First you have to have SMTP running on your win2k server and have port 25 open so the world can connect to your SMTP server. Next you need to modify your DNS zone record for your domain. Specifically you need to modify the MX record for your domain to point to the IP address of your win2k SMTP server. It would look like this:
example.com MX 20 10.10.10.1 Where example.com is the domain that you want to direct emails from and 10.10.10.1 is the IP of the server you want to receive them. You might want to consider adding a backup MX record if you have a friend that will relay email for you. just make an additional entry like like this: example.com MX 40 10.10.30.5 The metric of 40 is higher than 20 so delivering mail server will not use the higher metric unless your server is not responding or accepting mail. It could take 24 to 48 hour for your DNS to propagate.
