Mail server probs
I have a problem regarding setting up a mail server. I have a static IP
address and a domain name (through "www.dyndns.org"). I am able to send
email without problem, however I can not send any externally (I can
internally).
When I do a "nslookup" "hostname --fqdn" etc everything seems to be working
fine. That is, my machine's ip address and domain name are working. I can
serve web pages and I can offer a ftp server.
"/etc/resolv.conf" has the domain name servers provided to me by the ISP.
"/etc/hosts" has my ip address plus my domain name (as I said, it works
serving pages and ftp stuff). I use pine (for now) and pine config seems to
be ok because it is the same setup I used running Progeny and it was
working right out of the box whe I installed exim, chose option "1" and
mainly default on everything else except the preferred user. By the way
postfix has the same behavior (I an send but not receive).
Has anybody setup a successful mail server? Thanks
