Mail server and iptables/exim
I've been trying to setup my Debian Woody network server as a mail
server as well.
At present I can send email to an account on that server from *within*
the lan using the server's internet domain name (davidium.dyndns.org) in
the email address, but not from outside (the connection times out,
according to the Failed Mail Delivery messages I get 4 hours later).
This may be iptables or it may be exim; I'm not sure. The email was sent
using exim on my own Debian box within the lan; specifing an external
smtp server results in a failed delivery however.
I'm using the ipmasq package that comes with Debian Woody, and I can at
present access other server functions from the outside such as http and
ftp, so I'm leaning towards a problem in exim.conf but as I said I'm
really not sure as I can't see anything amongst the exim.conf options
that should account for this.
