Email sent as local server name

I have public forums on the internet using IIS 7.5 win 2k8 R2 standard

the user from external domain does registration into forums and they get confirmation email

"your registrations is completed click on below link to sign in

the link is an internal local server address instead of published on internet"

Is there way I can fix this issue please

Tx

Re: Email sent as local server name

There can be problems when you access a site from 2 domains ie one public and one local. I would not recommend doing that, I would make all users use the public address so that all requests are processed in the context of the same host name. 

You may also have a problem like that if you are using some kind of proxy server and the web server is not seeing the correct host name in web requests. It can work with a proxy server as long as the proxy server is forwarding the correct host name header from the original request.
