For DNS troubleshooting – or any MX record for that matter, it could be a good idea to run a quick check on the domain – most provide you with some sort of security score. I personally like this one – it provides recommendations and you can even ask for advice (answer arrives within the day!)

Thanks Dear.

It is very much helpful. As I read we have to configure it on internet DNS. What about our internal DNS, what would be configuration for that ?

I think you would need a 3rd party product such as Quest Messagestats.

By default, the Exchange Connectors won’t receive/send e-mail by default.

Thanks for clearing that up I really appreciate it…I’m fairly new to implementing email servers let-alone exchange 2007. I am having trouble recieving and sending email from exchange 2007 and thought it may be a dns issue.

As stated in Comment #6, this article is about Internet DNS. The article has nothing to do with internal DNS at all. You don’t need an internal MX record. MX records are used for internet mail servers to find your server so they can send mail to your domain. If you have multiple Exchange Servers, they use Exchange/AD information and Connectors to send mail to each other, not MX records.

So the configuration in regards to dns would be done on external dns server? And internal mx dns record would point to hostname of exchnage server internally?
