Questions regarding MS Exchange

[LuckyTaxi]

Just setup an exchange lab at home and everything internally works fine. I can send and receive emails to my users on the domain.
I have a domain I have bought, and will be pointing it to a free DNS service at everydns.net.

I have a DSL connection with a 8 port switch and Linksys router. So, I can have the DNS provider point everything to my static IP, but what once the traffic hits my router, what should I forward? Which port? Like for IIS I would point port 80 to whichever PC is running IIS. But what about Exchange?

As you can see, I'm a newbie with Exchange. I know under Linux i would open port 110 and 25 (POP3 and SMTP).

BTW...This is just a lab. I will only be sending emails back and forth with a friend. I wont be using this as my primary email. It will be offline when not in use.

I am assuming you setup Exchange 2000, what OS ? Again, I am assuming it is a MS server OS. Check these
links http://www.sbslinks.com, http://www.sbs2000.info. They are for Small Business Server 2000, but I think they
will work for Exchange configuration on a non-SBS server machine as well.

You'll need 25 open.

110 only if you intend on using POP.

You will not need any other traffic forwarded if you are just concerned about mail traffic and there are no exchange OWA frontends involved.

That should take care of it.
