For DNS records you will have to use always the external IP. When primary and secondary DNS server are on the same server, you will pnly have to create a promary dNS record and not a primary and secondary record. Have a look at the mail log for your email error.
so in management>settings>server>dns , i have webservice.ibcbrantford.com enetered twice , should they not be :- ns1.ibcbrantford.com ns2.golden.net that is the nameservers pointing to our domain from network solutions. Or should I edit one of the network solutions settings to point to webservice.ibcbrantford.com ? also , in management>settings>server , the ip of the server is 192.168.1.73 , shouldnt this be our outside ip which i think is 209.239.7.238 ? thanks for helping out a dumb dumb
I'm no expert, but if Network Solutions is also doing DNS for you then something is wrong because I cannot find your IP when doing an NSLOOKUP of your domain. So even if your DNS server is wrong, Network Solutions should be telling me the address. I tried ibcbrantford.com , mail.ibcbrantford.com & www.ibcbrantford.com None of them return an address.
As far as I see, your nameservers are ns.execulink.com and ns1.ibcbrantford.com: Code: dig ns ibcbrantford.com ; <<>> DiG 9.3.4 <<>> ns ibcbrantford.com ;; global options: printcmd ;; Got answer: ;; ->>HEADER<<- opcode: QUERY, status: NOERROR, id: 19539 ;; flags: qr rd ra; QUERY: 1, ANSWER: 2, AUTHORITY: 0, ADDITIONAL: 2 ;; QUESTION SECTION: ;ibcbrantford.com.

OK after some playing it seems that we can send and recieve emails internally on our new server BUT, when out of the local network (at home) we cannot authenticate to login and use the email system. We have it setup that we have to log into the mail server before using it with the same login and password that is associated with the mail account in outlook , so why does the server not let us do this ? ..
