From memory, dyndns.org has a paid for service to support "real" domains via a dynamic account with them.

[Mat87]

Thanks a lot for all replies!

What i am getting out of all this:

- My primary domain on SME, does this has to be selleslach.be or selleslach.dyndns.org?
- MX records; do i need to set them up @ selleslach.be only or on selleslach.dyndns.org of both? (and how?)

That's what I use - Custom Dns

Like SME, it just works.

I use the Custom DNS service of Dyndns.org.

I'm no expert on this, but using thier dynamic service I would say the domain of your sme would be selleslach.dyndns.org and without a mx record at dyndns your mail would be like admin[AT]selleslach.dyndns.org

How you get your bought domain working with the dynamic service I don't know.

Before you consider the Custom DNS service, have a look at the other dynamic ip management providers that are now out there.

Also see this free but good service
http://zoneedit.com/
You can configure DNS records for your real domain and maybe use WebForward and MailForward functions.

I can recommend zoneedit as being good as well as free. There is a post here with a script for a cron job to update as often as you want.

The OP's router probably has a few listed in it as well.

Hi all,

I have been working on the sme almost non stop now (well the dns settings) with a collegue of mine.

According to him this should work:

selleslach.be

CNAMES for mail and www to selleslach.dyndns.org.
And an MX record to selleslach.dyndns.org

I have set up everything now and will be testing it today and tommorow.

Ill make sure to keep u guys posted.

As soon as i get this working I think i'll put it in a HOWTO, for other ppl.

[Mat87]

Hi Guys,

i haven't forgotten about u
next problem that showed up: My ISP is blocking port 25 for all incoming mails.
So i can send but can"t recieve.

I have found a friend of mine who has an isp that is not blocking port 25,
So hopefully i cant put my server there to get it up and running

Than as promised i'll write an howto

If you don't expect to have a lot of e-mail traffic you can have a look at http://rollernet.us.
The service is free for small accounts. You have to configure a valid e-mail recipient list.
Remember that your mail is routed trough a server located in the US.

Yes it's not in the wiki. Still waiting patiantly for my wiki access request (nov. 2007).

Did you bother to read the link I posted
http://wiki.contribs.org/PortRedirect

It has the answer for the port 25 blocking issue, and is quite easy & quick to implement.

Hmz this seems to be a paying method?
Not that it's a lot of money, but i was hoping on doing this free.
But i'm still thinking about doing it
