Hello. First of all, congratulations SME team, you are making a wonderful job here.
Now my problem:
I have bought a domain for a small company, let's just call it compadomain.com. I set up SME as a server, enabled email access from POP3/S and IMAP/S, created a domain compadomain.local and another one compadomain.com and tried to send and receive emails. The receiving part works ok, but when I'm sending, instead of aciu@compadomain.com, my emails are sent from aciu@compadomain.local. I thought about it but I stii cannot figure it out.
Any advise will be appreciated.

You need to reconfigure server (option 2 in console) with the compadomain.com as domain instead of compadomain.local.

No, that's not so. aciu tells us that he/she has configured compadomain.com as a domain. That means that compadomain.com will be available as an option in webmail. He/she just needs to use the valid domain name when sending rather than the invalid one.
If he/she is using a different email client, then that client will just need to be configured correctly. SME server doesn't set the sender address for any mail sent from workstations, except for webmail.

Thank You for the fast replies!
It's he, BTW.
I reconfigured the server with compadomain.com, now my email's header is correct, but I still cannot deliver to friend@yahoo.com or friend@gmail.com . To others I deliver, but to those two nothing I receive the famous Sorry, I wasn't able to establish an SMTP connection. (#4.4.1)/.

In server manager Email panel/Change e-mail delivery settings/Address of Internet provider's mail server, try setting your ISP's smtp server (instead of blank) eg mail.yourISP.com.au
This will circumvent blacklisting/greylisting schemes etc.

Unfortunately, my ISP doesn't also provide a SMTP server, so I'll have to find another way.

Contact yahoo & gmail to have your server's IP whitelisted.
I'm aware that yahoo is very aggressively blocking servers that send mail directly.
