Re: Need email server support for Xeams

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.

Now that makes since, I didn't configure my email server to sent out, let me educate my self and I'll let you know if it works. Thanks for those links.

No luck, it is set to close relay and I put my server's IP addy of 192.168.100.2 as the only one but I can't send out from outlook. My outlook client is out side my network FYI

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.

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.

if the mail server is at your house, where is the sonicwall and static IP? is that at your house as well? or is that at the office with the client outlook PC?

The sonicwall is at my house with a fios business static, the mail server is in the DMZ subnet off the sonicwall.

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.

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.
