hope you can help,
I am learning Excahnge 2013 for the first time, and I have just build my first Excahnge 2013 server on a Windows 2012 server.
I follow the steps from "petenetlive.com" on how to install the server and services. as this is a test bed server, I haven't gone as far as getting the Cert's.
I have tried to different domain names from JCPPhotos.local and jessphotos.co.uk but for some reason, I can't get the exchange to send out a test email, but I am able to send emails within exchange to internal email accounts with no issues.
at the moment as this is a test bed, I have all the services on the same server, AD, Domain Contractor, DNS, but once I have this all sorted out then I will split the services onto different servers.
I have at the moment disable all firewalls on the server, and opened all ports on my main firewall for all out going traffic.
I have set up the send connecter as shown by Petenetive, and as the domain name is the same as my public domain name I have done anything else. has anyone else had the same issues, and if so then can you please advice.
