Topic: Can not send email from outlook

[dayhat]

My SME 6.0 server and gateway does not allow me to send emails from outlook from the WAN. I get error "553 Sorry, that domain isn't in my list of allowed rcpthosts".
I can send and receive emails inside the LAN. I have configured the email to allow public access from internet can someone help me?

Need a little more info.

What is your connection to the internet?
Do you have a static or dynamic IP?
Are you configured to use your ISP's mail or are you trying to be your own smtp server?

I have a DSL with static ip address and i use my server for SMTP.

Make sure that you set the mailservers adress to yourdomain.com and not mail.yourdomain.com for external use.

Look for SMTP Proxy

[dayhat]

Thank you Per and Ray but both solutions do not work. I disable the SMTP proxy and configured mydomain.com instead mail.mydomain.com. I have done a fresh install of SME 6.0(takeoff) and still no luck. Does anyone else have the same problem?

Had a similar problem. Fixed it with this

Hi Dayhat,
I had a similar problem I think? when you say the WAN can I asume you do not mean the Internet?

[dayhat]

Yes I mean the internet when i say WAN, and i was planning to install securemail from pagefault.org.

I installed securemail from pagefault.org and now i can send email from the internet through Outlook configured for SSL. I am getting though a security warning, when i open outlook, that the security certificate in my server could not be verified. It is not a problem but is there any way i can fix it so the server can have the right security certificate?

Did a search on cert, and came up with this

Hi DayHat,
OK, this is what I configured for a customer, as the certificates were a pain. I just set up a vpn connection to the sme box, and then left outlook with the standard setup, it works really well. and you don't get the certificate questions which is good.
