Title: I can not receive Email
Post by: input on May 20, 2011, 07:58:41 PM: I register the domainname dompelingict.nl and I set the settings mxrecords from the internethost to 192.168.1.5 but I can not receive Email.
I tried to sent a mail to loek@dompelingict.nl but I get an Email in return :
SMTP error from remote mail server after RCPT TO:<loek@dompelingict.nl>:
host mx1.hostnet.nl [91.184.8.23]: 554 5.7.1 <loek@dompelingict.nl>:
Relay access denied

does anyone know how I can solve this problem

Thanks

That is not correct. 192.168.1.5 is not a valid internet address. That is not the IP address of your Internet connection.

How is your server connected to the Internet?

You should also remove mx1.hostnet.nl. from the MX records of your domain. mx1.hostnet.nl. is not configured to receive mail for your domain (which is the direct reason for the rejection you are reporting), and it also will not be able to filter spam as effectively as your SME server.

[charlieb@localhost ~]$ host dompelingict.nl
dompelingict.nl has address 192.168.1.5
dompelingict.nl mail is handled by 100 mx1.hostnet.nl.
dompelingict.nl mail is handled by 10 mail.dompelingict.nl.
[charlieb@localhost ~]$

Please read the User Manual at least twice. If you follow the setup steps documented there, you should be able to receive mail for your domain.

smtp mail server on port 25
you will also need to forward other ports for other services
eg
web port 80
https port 443
search google for ports

Post by: Stefano on May 27, 2011, 08:23:50 PM: what about reading the FAQ?

A piece of good advice for you is to sit down one afternoon and read through ALL the Contrib & Howto & FAQ articles.
You will learn a lot and discover that many issues or requirements that you will encounter when using SME server have already been answered.

See this FAQ aricle in particular
http://wiki.contribs.org/SME_Server:Documentation:FAQ#Internet_provider.27s_port_25_is_blocked:_How_to_set_an_alternative_port_for_the_SMTP_server

and also see this Howto article
http://wiki.contribs.org/PortRedirect

That tag is inaccurate. This procedure isn't using an alternative port for the SMTP server. It's changing the port used for the SMTP Smarthost (i.e. the mail server being used for outbound mail relay). The FAQ should make it clear that this just solves the outbound port 25 problem.

The Note there is incorrect. The inbound connections on port 2525 which are being redirected to port 25 will should a source IP address of a no-ip.com server, not a LAN address.

My hostingprovider does not support another port then 25.

Post by: MSmith on May 28, 2011, 06:48:27 PM: Then you must either use multidrop or the fetchmail contrib to get your SME server to download email from a POP-capable mailbox or mailboxes provided by your domain host.

Alternatively use a different ISP who does not block ports and then you can run your own smtp server without problems.
