 Thread : Port Forwarding for Exchange?
 
More Information

Archived from groups: microsoft.public.broadbandnet.hardware (More info?)

 

Hi Everybody!
 
I have an MN-700 here in an .org along with an Exchange 2003 SP1 server  
(running on Windows 2003, 'natch - with all the available updates).  
Exchange works perfectly when I place it in a "virtual DMZ" but I'm a wary  
of keeping it there as this is a small satellite office (3 users) and the  
server is also their DC and file server.
 
I've tried forwarding ports 25, 80 and 110 to the Exchange server  
(192.168.1.3) but when in this configuration mail can go out but not come  
in.  I receive no error message from Yahoo! or Hotmail when I send an email  
to the server and the messages appear to just fall into a digital black  
hole.
 
Is there any way to just use some kind of port-forwarding to get this to  
work??  I've read some guides on this from various sources via Google but  
these extremely complex and were mostly for Exchange 5.5 and 2000.
 
Thank you,
 
Jim

Try looking here (which was found by Googling for "exchange ports" )
 
http://www.techtutorials.com/tutor [...] orts.shtml
 
It seems that you might not be port forwarding all the appropriate ports for
Exchange (and note that there might be subtle differences for Exchange 2003
too for all I know).

Exchange - for example, the ones on MS's news server]
