From: ThatsIT on
I have SBS 2000 with Exchange 2000 on a remote server where i host web
sites.
i have a domain lets say 123.com with dns point too the remote server, but a
MX record pointing the email to my home server lets say abc.com. this works
fine.
but when i send a email to myself from a web site on my remote server i have
problems because it looks st the dns on the same network and sees that it is
the destination server, to get around this I put a mx record in pointing
maill to abc.com. this was working fine but i noticved recently that it was
no longer sending email to me.
Having a look in theracking tool and find that it starts outbound transfere
of mesaage then generates a NDR
Because this has not been working for a few days I can not say if i have
changed anything in that time, i cant think of anything.

Anyone have any ideas? Because im out of them

So how many Exchange Servers do you have? One at the remote hosting site
(SBS 2000) and one at home? Which server is responsible for your internet
domain? Please verify which domains you are talking about as its confusing
if you are referring to internal AD domains or external internet domains.

its an external domain thatsit.net.au
both servers are set up to handle mail fo the domain
but the dns points the emial at my home server.
so far this works fine,
but when my remote server wants to send mail from a web page, it thinks that
it handles the email, to fix this problem i put a mx record pointing at my
home domain. this was working fine, the email from the web sites was sent to
my home server.
but for the last week or so, it has not been working, it gets to outbound
transfere and then makes a NDR

If both Servers are not part the same Exchange Org then having them both
setup/responsible for your internet mail domain is not going to work
successfully. For this web app, can you not just setup a SMTP relay and
authenticate to your Exchange Home Server to allow it to send mail off of
it?
