Recently I had someone trying to get into my SBS 2003 server so over the
weekend I went into Server Management and under Internet and email chose
enable firewall and all was fine. But for some reason it was not letting the
company phones get their email forwarded over. I turned off the firewall, and
since then I have not been able to get into my server via domain/remote or
domain/exchange. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

You actually haven't given us much information. Here would be my questions,
and this is by no means complete:

1) Is your SBS a single-NIC or dual-NIC configuration?
2) Is there a hardware firewall/UTM between your SBS server and the
internet?
3) How did you determine that someone tried to get into your server and how
did you decide the firewall was the appropriate response?
4) Did you make *any* other changes besides enabling then disabling the
firewall?

Right now, this could be an issue with port forwarding on your perimeter
device. It could be an IIS binding issue. It could be that when attempting
to change your firewall, you inadvertently changed some ISA settings (if you
run ISA).

As I said, a lot of questions and few answers.
