When i send mail too others in my domain at my office
(internally) it works just fine, but when i send too other
people that has a computer outside my office and the same
domain name after the @ in the email adress i get a replay
from systemadministrator: Delivery status notification
(Faliure).

The server does not send it out on the internet and that
is my problem... please help me.

Check to make sure external domains can be resolved. If your using DNS this
can be tested using Nslookup from the command line. There's an example in
the following article: 150114 XFOR: IMC Doesn't Appear to Use All Mail
Exchangers http://support.microsoft.com/?id=150114. Pick a external domain
that you normally send email to.

If nslookup fails, then you have a DNS issue, if it works then the next step
is to try and send a message to an external host using Telnet. Use the IP
address you got back from the nslookup and telnet to that IP address and try
and send a message. An example on how to that is documented in the following
article: 153119 XFOR: Telnet to Port 25 of IMC to Test IMC Communication
http://support.microsoft.com/?id=153119.

If the Telnet fails, then it maybe a network issue when trying to establish
a connection outside the internal network from that server.

Thanks,
