Title: SMTP interfering with my cable ISP on SME 6.0.1
Post by: Tuinslak on August 01, 2004, 01:17:39 AM
As user of a cable ISP, I setup my SME as server & gateway with the same hostname (I don't fully understand why :-? , but that's what I read in some setup issues for your POP3 to work properly between different  users in the LAN). So on the POP3 side no problem :lol: , but on the SMTP side there is a problem  :-( when sending mails to people who have an account with the same cable ISP... with other providers there is no problem!
Here a copy of the mailer daemon message:
Hi. This is the qmail-send program at cableISP.XX.
I'm afraid I wasn't able to deliver your message to the following addresses.
This is a permanent error; I've given up. Sorry it didn't work out.
first.last@e-smith.cableISP.XX:
Sorry, no mailbox here by that name. (#5.1.1)

Of course my mailprogram on the LAN point directly to the outside cable SMTP IP, also E-smith delegate the mail to the SMTP IP, because the cable company don't allow to send our mail otherwise :-x .
So why the SME and qmail is interfering with my mail sended directly to my ISP SMTP and bouncing me back that the outside adress is unknown inside (of course :roll: ).
Is there a workaround/solution to this problem? Would be great :-D !
Thanks in advance.
