Re: Beginning to Migrate from pop/smtp hosted to Exchange 2003 in house.
DNS can take time to propagate, so your new MX record may take some time to be "known". I use a few DNS sites as well as query my ISP DNS servers. http://www.iptools.com/ http://www.mxtoolbox.com/SuperTool.aspx Hope this helps.

Haven't gotten there yet. Still migrating and testing the setup of the user account. _ From: Eric [mailto:seag...@gmail.com] Sent: Tuesday, June 01, 2010 11:23 AM To: MS-Exchange Admin Issues Subject: Re: Beginning to Migrate from pop/smtp hosted to Exchange 2003 in house.

RE: Beginning to Migrate from pop/smtp hosted to Exchange 2003 in house.
Have you tried telnet to port 25 on the Ironport, or using a PS script to send an email using the Ironport as a smarthost? PS script (V2) Send-mailmessage -smtpserver -to "" -from "" -subject "Test" -body "Test" PS script (V1) $mailhost = "" $from = "" $to = "" $subj = "Test" $body = "Test " $SmtpClient = new-object system.net.mail.smtpClient $SmtpClient.Host = $mailhost $mailmessage = New-Object system.net.mail.mailmessage $mailmessage.from = ($from) $mailmessage.To.add($to) $mailmessage.Subject = $subj $mailmessage.Body = $body $smtpclient.Send($mailmessage) From: David McSpadden [mailto:dav...@imcu.com] Sent: Tuesday, June 01, 2010 10:15 AM To: MS-Exchange Admin Issues Subject: Beginning to Migrate from pop/smtp hosted to Exchange 2003 in house. Yeah Me! Okay so you all have given me great direction. I am doing my testing right now. I have a 5 step process. 1. Route all smtp mail through my firewall then my Ironport then my Exchange Server. 2. Add smtp address to my user account in Exchange. 3. Migrate Outllook Express data to Outlook using the wizards. 4. Add Internet addresses for domain such as MX, A, and SPF records. 5. Cancel Email hosting service. So I have a ticket open with Ironport support to verify my changes there are cool. I am testing my email and from one of 4 hosted email accounts (All of which will be brought in house) and I don't ever see it leave or enter the smtp queue on Exchange or Ironport. So I am at a loss for why I am not seeing it. Is it because in step 2 I am giving the external pop/smtp addresses?? "Please consider the environment before printing this email."
