what priority must have my server to send and recieve
ahmedsa:
Hi guys i have sme 8.0 i face problem sometimes when i send or receive email's
it not send or receive until i changed mx entry priority it works
then made as first when problem happen
it also works
my domain is altawi.com.sa
what priority must done to working send and recieve
Stefano:
to receive emails you need to setup your MX priority at highest level, i.e. at lower value (priority 5 is better than 10)
sending emails has nothing to do with your MX setup, so your question doesn't make sense :-)
DanB35:
...and if your server is the only MX record, it doesn't matter what the priority is for receiving either. It could be 0, it could be 100, or any other valid value. The priority value only matters if there's more than one MX handler.
CharlieBrady:
your domain's mx record has nothing to do with sending.
For receiving, you don't even need an MX record. If your domain has no MX records, and your domain has an A record, then all mail will be sent to the IP address listed in your A record, via port 25 or 465. If your domain has one MX record, then that IP address will be used in preference to the IP address in the A record. Only if you have more than one MX record does priority matter. Do not have more than one MX record for your domain.

Dear All
Ahmedsa was previously given advice to remove the second MX record in this thread:
http://forums.contribs.org/index.php/topic,51682.0/nowap.html
(which apparently pointed at a misconfigured server).
It looks like it has NOT been fixed, but it also looks like there is a wrong configuration generally
ie using mserver.altawi.com & altawi.com.sa pointing at different IPs (????)
See
http://mxtoolbox.com/SuperTool.aspx?ismobile=0#
which shows
mx:altawi.com.sa
0 mserver.altawi.com.sa 78.93.244.61
1 altawi.com.sa 212.93.222.10
I think that the changes needed here are to rename the SME server main domain to
altawi.com.sa (instead of mserver.altawi.com.sa)
& to change external MX records to have either no entries (which is acceptable to SME server requirements), or only one entry which shows
mx:altawi.com.sa
0 altawi.com.sa 78.93.244.61
(I used 78.93.244.61 as that is what ahmedsa said the server IP is in the other thread).
Do others agree ?
It seems at the moment that 78.93.244.61 is not resolving (times out with 110 error), so there is also something wrong with DNS, or the physical connection, I am not sure which or what ???
Also http://212.93.222.10 gives an error at http://212.93.222.10/cgi-sys/defaultwebpage.cgi
altawi.com.sa does resolve to a website
mserver.altawi.com.sa does NOT resolve & times out, so I think that server is down or connecting intermittently, so that could explain intermiitent mail problems
Using network-tools.com to look up altawi.com.sa I get
