DNS

[Neal Walters]

I have registered a domain nealwalters.net for a home Win2000 Server, and IIS/Web pages can be viewed fine.

I have installed Exchange 2000.

I have set up a forward lookup zone called nealwalters.net and realize that I must set up a "New Mail Exchanger" for this domain. When I click on "New Mail Exchanger" I'm clueless as to what to enter for the "host name" and "mail server". When I click on Browse, I see my computer name, and when I click on that I see my forward lookup zones. This seems like an endless loop, like it want a lookup zone as an Exchange Server for this lookup zone???

I have defined a mail box, and I want to send my first email from another system to this exchange server. Every attempt thus far as resulted in a mail delivery failure:

A message that you sent could not be delivered to one or more of its recipients. This is a permanent error. The following address(es) failed:

-----------------------------
mymailbox@nealwalters.net
SMTP error from remote mailer after RCPT TO:<mymailbox@nealwalters.net>:
host nealwalters.net [66.149.113.197]: 550 5.7.1 Unable to relay for mymailbox@nealwalters.net
