Mail receive problem
« on: February 08, 2007, 09:16:14 PM »
Hi

I got a problem setting up my mail server:

I can send Mails without any Problems, but I can't receive them! The sender doesn't get any mail not delivered mail.

My Setup:

    Static IP Adress


Static DNS from DynDNS.com:
     
    Hostname: mydomain.ath.cx
         Wildcard: no
         MailExchanger: I tried:
      mydomain.ath.cx
                                             mydomain.domainname.provided.by.isp.com

         Backup MX: no


Settings in SME Server:
(I installed SME in German - hope I translate correct)
     
    Mode: servergateway

         Mail:
             
      public POP3: deactivated
               public IMAP: only local
               webmail: active (only HTTPS)
               virus scanner: active
               spam filter: active
               block executable attachments: deactivated
               e-mail fetch mode:Standard (SMTP)
               SMTP authentication: deactivated
               forward admin mails: -
               mail to unknown address: return to sender
               address of intern mail server: -
               address SMTP server of ISP: -


Let me know if you need any more data of my setup
Thanks in advance for your help

greets
Shaito

I think you should set the wildcard to yes.

What is your configuration, server or server/gateway?
What type of connection do you have to the internet?
Is there a router or firewall betwenn the server and the internet?
Anything that may be blocking any ports?

I live in a student dorm and use university network. So I have Ethernet connection. Althoug the University of course uses different routers and switches, there is no firewall or a NAT. My IP is public and all ports are reachable.

Your mail server is
mail.mydomain.ath.cx
but I don't think you need to enter anything at DynDNS for that ie leave blank

I'd also go to grc.com and run a port scan on your server to see if port 25 (mail server port) is really open.
