They handle the DNS settings on your behalf. If you want the SMTP mail to be
sent to you, punch a hole in your firewall and assign it an external static
address mapped to the Exchange SMTP service location (your Exchange server).
Provide that IP address to your ISP and they will start funneling the SMTP
mail to you.
But, your not done - there are relay items as well as configuration issues
that you want to look at - I have several links off my website to Exchange
FAQ's that walk you through step by step (www.clarksupport.com).
Enjoy!

Subject: Internet Mail Connector - HELP
We have run exchange 5.5 for a while on a NT 4.0 box, but we have not used
it for internet email. What do I need to do to put our exchange server on
the internet? I have ran through the setup of adding the Internet Mail
Connector many times in a lab setting. Our ISP said that can start routing
it to us (instead of them) and they said we could use mail.company.com. My
question is where do I put that? Do we use "mail" as the hostname and
"company.com" as the domain in the DNS settings within TCP/IP? Any other
installation suggestions or standard settings that we should use would be
great. Thanks!
