Re: [Servers] Email Server at home
I run my own email server out of my house. I initially set my domain at domainsite.com, followed by my mail records, and then had a friend allow me to funnel mail through his antivirus server before it hits my server.
I've got a static ip; additionally, my provider is wide open, meaning I can run whatever service I want as long as the bandwith I'm paying for can support it 
There are no negatives I can think of because when I go on base (I'm I.T. in the military) they bock hotmail, yahoo mail, gmail, and other well known webmail services, "but" I can always get to mine.
Gotta love it...

i m just trying to test the technology and getting my hands dirty because I wanna learn more and wanna get more advance job when it comes and I am ready.
I doubt the cable internet blocks port 25. however, I don't wanna use the application based. I wanna setup the exchange in html based so i can check my mail everywhere. I m looking into this now and i believe sine i use html based, they have no way to block my email server unless one issue is the reverse dns zone. I believe I can run a dns server with a public ip on one NIC and setup a primary dns zone for that nic.
what do u think? |

Better check with your ISP. For example Cox HSI, my ISP, does block TCP Port 25...

If your ISP blocks port 25 going out of your connection and you currently authenticate your email with the ISP you need to setup a smart host on your mail server using the same authenticating process to send your email out, if your ISP uses a different port than 25 you should try 25 first with authentication and if that fails use the port you have setup in your email settings.
