Question : Cannot use EHLO or AUTH LOGIN outside of internal network on Exchange 2003
Our environment:
Windows Small Business Server 2003
Exchange 2003 (Note: this is the "trimmed down" version that is bundled with Windows Small Business Server 2003)
Here's my problem... I am not being able to send email through my Exchange server using SMTP. I can connect directly to Exchange via Outlook when inside the network, so working from within the network is not an issue. However, when outside of our network, I try the following:
telnet mail.mydomain.com 25
I receive a string of asterisks and digits, but connect successfully...
EHLO
500 5.3.3 Unrecognized command
So then I try:
telnet mail.mydomain.com 25
I receive a string of asterisks and digits, but connect successfully...
HELO
250 mail.mydomain.com [70.33.**.**]
AUTH LOGIN
500 5.3.3 Unrecognized command
However, when I am actually on the server, and telnet to localhost port 25, I AM able to use EHLO and can authenticate successfully with AUTH LOGIN. Please help! Thank you!
