I am not able to access wrbit.com/server-manager.
I get the 403 forbidden.
I have read the manual and followed the directions.
What could i be missing?

Which is how it should be.
I have read the manual and followed the directions.
Which directions?
Did you enter a IP from which the access should be enabled at the Security > Remote Access Panel?
Are you trying to access the server-manager from this IP?
Regards,
Niklas

Excuse that statement about reading the directions. I have been tinkering with SME for about 3 days straight now.
I can access https://www.wrbit.com/server-manager locally.
I also can access https://99.184.156.107/server manager locally.
I am not able to do this outside of my local network, from work, wifi hot spots ect...
I did not enter an IP for remote management. Im guessing this is needed?

No need for a excuse, it's just easier for us to help you if you state more or less exactly what you did.

Yes, if you want to access the server-manager from a remote location you will need to do this. That shouldn't be a problem if you want to access with the same IP all the time.
If that's not the case you could establish a VPN connection to your server and this way gain access from the "local" network.
Two other ways are described in this thread:

The 1st one is to connect via SSH and use the text based server-manager access from the admin console. The 2nd one is a bit more complicated and needs SSH access as well but you will be able to access the server-manager with your standard browser.
-
Thank you for the info!
-
You're Welcome!
Please let us know if that solved your problem.
-
Yes it did! I was under the impression that I could log into my server-manager from any location.
But it did solve my problem.

Not sure if i should start another thread or not but when i send mail it does not arrive at the recipient.
I can send and receive mail locally, im not able to send mail from my mail server via webmail to my gmail account
-
Do you have port 25 forwarded on the router?
I think you know how to test from your other thread.
EDIT: disregard, this should only apply to receiving. :???:
-
I have ports 110 and 25 pointing to my server.
-
Have a look at the All mail to Yahoo is bouncing (http://forums.contribs.org/index.php?topic=42175.0) thread.
Do you have a dynamic IP adress?
-
Ok, i cant send or receive to this thing at all! I dont get an error sending or receiving from either end.
I have sent mail from work and two ther accounts and i have not received one email.
Side note. I am running this server from my house, i have DSL, and i have a DDNS host name set up since i dont have a static ip.

The Dynamic IP is probably the issue.
Many providers reject mail coming from an dynamic IP.
From the wiki:
Internet provider's SMTP server: Normally the server will send outgoing messages directly to their intended destination. If, however, you have an unreliable connection or are using a residential Internet service, it may be advisable to route e-mail via your provider's SMTP server. In that case, you should enter the SMTP server's hostname or IP address here.
In fact, if you have a temporary dial-up connection to the Internet, you may find that you need to use your ISP's mail server in order to deliver mail to some locations. As a reaction to the huge volume of unsolicited commercial e-mail ("spam"), many Internet sites are refusing direct SMTP connections from IP addresses that are known to be temporary dial-up accounts. For this reason, you may need to use your ISP's mail server since it will have a permanent connection to the Internet.
So in the server-manager go to E-Mail > E-Mail Delivery and put in your ISP's mail server IP.
-
You have set up an MX record? If you do not have this set up you would not be able to receive mail.
-------------------
If your ISP is blocking Port 25 you would not be able to send mail.
Have you tried sending through your ISP's Mail server using this panel?

I have the IP set in the email delivery options, so far still no change..

This tool can be used to check for inbound port 25 connection:

You should start a different thread. Your problem is no longer "cant access server-manager externaly", is it?
