Topic: Starting smtpd

[Cyrus Bharda]

Hello all, well I am trying to setup my SME box to just host my email. So I had my mx records changed and all the other stuff done, but I cannot send mail from the SME 5.5.

I get this error from outlook:
An unknown error has occurred. Subject 'test from outlook local to external', Account: 'XXXXX.net.au', Server: '192.168.0.1', Protocol: SMTP, Server Response: '451 Message refused by mail server.', Port: 25, Secure(SSL): No, Server Error: 451, Error Number: 0x800CCC6A

So I tryed webmail, but it would not send, came back with "There was an error sending your message". Then I downloaded the services rpm to see if my smtp was running and it isnt for some reason, so I rebooted, but it did not start. I tryed setting it to start with the services control panel, but it still doesnt start, so how do I start it, and will this fix the problem?

Error 451 means that the domain part of your address did not resolve.

Ok well I ran /etc/init.d/smtpfront-qmail start and it started OK and tryed to send an email from webmail, but still get this message:

There was an error sending your message

When I hit the send button.

And I still get the 451 message when I try with outlook express.. any ideas?
