Hello,

I have just set up Exchange Server 2003 and all the email I sent to external
mail account it comes to spam folder.
I have not asked my internet provider set up MX record for my server maybe
this is the problem why all the email goes to spam folder.

Thanks

Hmmm - possible, but if you're saying *all* the mail, it seems unlikely. I'm
presuming you've got a registered Internet domain & have put it into your
recipient policy. How are you receiving mail if you don't have an MX record?
You should have one. See http://www.msexchange.org/tutorials/MF002.html for
some help.

Cuz you dont need a mx record  to get mail, though its a good idea to
have one of course :P

I know you don't technically need one. I wrote my reply badly. I'm just
guessing Exchange isn't yet really handling this domain's mail.

Hello,

At the moment we are using  FT Gates sowtware to send and recieve email for
our domain, and it is configured to send and recieve email throught our ISP
servers, but know I've setup  exchange server mercury.mydomain.com. I know
that I will not be able to recieve email untill I will get MX records sorted
out for our new server, but I do not understad why all the messages I sent
going into spam folder into yahoo or hotmail accounts.If I sent email from
using FT gates account t***@mydomain.com it goes OK, but if I send email
test@mydomain .com  from the exchange server account it goes to spam folder.

Thanks in advance
