Windows Server Forum / Small Business Server / SBS 2000 / April 2008MX Record questions
We are not getting email from outside the company. I am guessing it's the MX record. Called the company who has the domain name and the mx record, they say it looks fine. I don't think it's a problem with Exchange. We have internal email and can send to the outside world. Any suggestions? THANKS!!!!

Says that "No connection could be made because the target machine actively refused it". Also try using dnsreport.com and see what it reports for your domain.

Your A and MX records - what are they? Most importantly, what is your A record that you've associated your MX with - and can you ping it (eg can you ping mail.yourdomain.com - and is that *your* IP).? - or is it (still) the ISP or hosts?
