Post by: hemi_426 on June 24, 2008, 12:35:07 PM

hello guys

i didnt install SME yet!. but i wanted to ask about the mail server.

if i done with assigning the external and the localnet interfaces IP's plus the server domain is that enough to get mail server running?

'cause i didint find in the documentation page anything mentioned about configuring the mail services!!!

or i need to setup the mail server manually?

best regards .and thanks for any reply :)

Yes, for internal mail.

Of course if you want e-mail from outside you will need a registered domain name and an MX record for that domain name that points to your server. If your server is behind a firewall (if it does not have the public IP address from your ISP) you will need to forward the correct ports through your firewall to it.

Here is the e-mail server settings information:

Here is a little information on Domain Names:
