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

That is long, perhaps make a comment to the bug as it seems to have been forgotten or contact staff@contribs.org.

Hmz i don't get the feeling that the rollernet is working.
i set up my rollernet acc to redirect to port 2525 but no luck.
Still not recieving.

I'm afraid the only option i have left is to put my server @ my friend's house.

Did you also make the required port forwards on sme server ?
You need to be in server gateway mode to use the port forward (& opening ) panel.

Ray,

I am using sme in standalone mode.
The port forwarding is handled by my router

I setted up an smtp redirection @ rollernet (look at previous screenshot)
and this is my port forwarder for it.

Hi Mat87,

How does this work exactly?

I have regged an account...and now?

This shows how it works (look at the picture at the bottom of the page): http://rollernet.us/services.php?smtp

I have rollernet SMTP redirection working with SME.

Domain config
The domains DNS MX records should be configured to point to the Rollernet email servers. In my case, I can edit the DNS zone records at my IPS's website. The IP adres of the rollernet email servers are found here: https://acc.rollernet.us/resources.php. (To use this url, you have to be log in first.) The SMTP server adresses should be entered as MX records for your domain.

You can check the e-mail delivery for your domain at the rollernet website.
Send an email to the domain and  select "queue status" on the rollernet website mail services page. You should see e-mail waiting in the queue. If not, it's already on your SME server or it has not been delivered at rollernets e-mail servers at all. .
Try the "mail logs" option to see email that has been send to the SME by rollernet. 

Rollernet
With the rollernet free account, you have to enter a "valid user table". Without this list, all e-mail wil be rejected by default by the rollernet servers. Make sure it's there.
Your "rollernet config" looks the same as mine (I looked at the screendump link  in the previous post).
I use an IP adress instead of a hostname. Try IP adres first and if things work fine, change the IP adres to a hostname.
In the queue status window, you can hit a button "Send ETRN". This forces the rollernet system to try to connect to the SME server (there has to be e-mail waiting in the queue).

SME server
At your SME server: if the server is in gateway mode and directly connected to the internet, make sure it is listening for e-mail on the right port (2525 in your case). I think this information is in the HowTo already mentioned here. If the server is behind a internet connected router (my configuration), configure the router to forward port 2525 to port 25 on the SME server on the internal LAN.

Good luck!
Marcel
