I am having trouble with setting up Email. I have a DSL line that my LAN is connected to the Internet with. I am running E-Smith Server and Gateway 4.0.1 with a static IP.
I understand that MX Records are kept at the ISP which are used in directing our Email to our mail server...
I can send mail INTERNALLY on the LAN to users defined on the E-Smith Server.
I can send mail EXTERNALLY to any email addresses on the Internet.
I can receive mail INTERNALLY from any users on the LAN defined on E-Smith Sever.
I cannot receive mail EXTERNALLY from any email addresses on the Internet.
I have run this command from the Command Line:
nslookup -query=mx mydomain.com
This has reported that the mx records at my ISP are mail.mydomain.com
However to be able to send and receive as listed above. (POP3) I had to change my email application mail sever names to be mail.e-smith.mydomain.com
Is the name e-smith required in the mail server name? If not, how can I change this?
How can I get my mail comming from the outside world into our LAN???
