How to open Outlook and Exchange to the world

[adreinhard]

Hi,

I have inherited a strange e-mail setup from the previous IT person at
my company. For all e-mail sent outside of our office, we use
Netscape. For all office-only e-mail we use Outlook 2003 on an
Exchange 2003 server.

I would like to dump Netscape and use Outlook/Exchange for everything,
but need to know how to allow Outlook/Exchange to begin to talk to the
outside world for sending/receiving messages.

Apologies for this basic question, but I figured I'd post to the
Outlook installation group to see how to get this done.

Thanks,

Amasis

What you describe is more a function of Exchange than Outlook. Are you the
Exchange administrator?

See if this page helps, I found it highly useful when setting up our fist
Exchange Server:

server to talk to the Internet."
