Hi ammadey,

If you already have registered a domain you do not need POP3 mail anymore.

You need to use a public DNS server that host you domain where you have to configure your MX record pointing to your ISA 2004 DMZ or External IP address. Then all your e-mail will come to your published e-mail server on ISA. The Exchange configuration using ISA has to use it as smart host or using Site connections define an SMTP Connector for your site.

POP3 forwarding is a feature of SBS and I am not sure if you are running SBS.

Hope help.. [Big Grin]

Hi ammadey,

I do not know waht would be your topology, but...

I will relay Domain Name Resolution to your ISP, if they are offering that services to you. (Most of the ISP does that). Then you need a MX record pointing to your SMTP relay services, that I am assuming is your ISA Firewall with a Mail Publishing rule pointing to your Exchange Server on the LAN.

You can search this site for documents how to do so.

Also, you need to configure your exchange server to use either a site connector under routing configuration or a Smart Host under SMTP protocol. All depend what kind of configuration you decide to use.

So, I have made several asumptions here, but you will find your answer soon... [Razz]
