End up using hMailServer and it works just fine. Xeams sucks. So far I'm using the local database.
So my issue is not resolved.

Your "it works just fine" and "my issue is not resolved" statements would seem to be in conflict.

Exactly what issue is not resolved now that you are using hMailServer that "works just fine"?

FWIW, I have been using hMailServer for a while now, and it "works just fine" for me too. I opened this thread to recommend that you try hMailServer, only to see that you had already done so. It works so well for me, that I have relegated my old sendmail/qpopper Linux email server to backup status, and use the hMailServer as my primary email server.

EDIT: Nevermind, I just noticed that you have a second thread in this forum, and that your issue is that you wanted to use an external MySQL dateabase with hMailServer. I can't help you there because I am also just using hMailServer's built-in database.

yurimaster posted : For the outgoing server it is using port 25. It's on default settings.
I also know that the server is getting the message when I sent to other domains. I can see all the messages from the web interface admin panel on the server it self. It is just not leaving the server from there.

tomdlgns posted : if the mail server is in the DMZ, you shouldnt have to open any ports.

with that being said, what port are you using in outlook for outgoing server (i have asked this a few times already).

thanks.

yurimaster posted : The mail server is at my home and the outlook client is at work. The mail server is on a DMZ subnet with only one machine on that subnet which is the mail server it self. I'm using the outlook client at my work for this email. The purpose of this email is so that I can give out email accounts to anyone out on the net. Those admins on my clan will have their email account with our domain name. The clients can be any where in the world.

tomdlgns posted : what port are you using in outlook to send out?

before you start testing from outside the network, test from inside the network. can you send out using outlook from a PC on the same network the email server is on?

testing from outside the network will require additional configuration (usually a VPN connection into the network hosting the email server) and more ports open in the firewall. my company only allows sending email outside the network when we are connected back to the network with a VPN client.

tomdlgns posted : have you configured the email server to send out?

the email server doesnt need to know where your domain is and when you send email out your server wont know where it is, that is for the internet/DNS to decide.

it sounds like the relay/smart host isnt configured all the way for outgoing email.

The sonicwall is enhance OS and I manually create the firewall rule my self and forward the port just like i do with others. NAT rules are created.
I have 4 Team Fortress 2 game servers, a web server on port 80, FTP 21, TS3 voice server. I can see packets and traffic going in and out of 25 and 143 in my sonicwall. My Sonicwall is a TZ210 with OS SonicOS Enhanced 5.8.1.5-46o

run the public server wizard, i did all the same things you did and couldn't get it working until i went through the wizard.

tomdlgns posted : is the sonicwall using enhanced or standard OS?

did you run the wizard for a public server?

when i went from standard OS to enhanced OS there were a few additional things i needed to do before i got email working.

running the wizard in enhanced mode created a few rules that i did not create. i believe they were NAT rules.

aguen posted : Is this server connected to the Verizon network? If so and you're a residential user, you will have to setup your SMTP server to use a different port. Verizon blocks outbound port 25 (SMTP) on residential accounts. After you get that setup, you will have to inform your users of the port number so that they can connect to it.

tomdlgns posted : i have never heard of/used xeams, but email is email, and the protocols should be the same.

where are you trying to send out from? is it a business/static Internet connection?

are you behind a firewall (assuming yes) are ports properly configured for port 25?

yurimaster posted : Hello everyone, I'm new to email servers but I got it going half way. I hope someone here is familiar with Xeams email server. I can't afford a paid email server since this is going to be for my none profit gaming clan.

I'm going to be brief here.

Got a domain registered through godaddy.com and an A records pointed to my web server external IP (the same web server is also the Xeams email server) which my website works great.
I have created the mx records on godaddy that corresponds to the external IP of my mail/web server. SMTP and IMAP ports have been forwarded. Only planning to use IMAP not POP.
I have one mail box user setup.
Open outlook client to setup up new email account as IMAP, put all the settings and it checks out. Email account is setup good on outlook and able to receive message from any emails on the net, such as gmail, yahoo and so on. But when I try to replies back it goes out but never arrives to the sender. I also try composing an email and it's sent out but the receiver never gets the email. I checked the logs on the server and see the in and out messages on the server. I'm not sure what needs to be done so I can start sending email out to the world.
