I just set up an email server with the help of http://www.aboutdebian.com/internet.htm
they walk you through setting up sendmail and ipopd, I did it all successfully
but for some reason I cant get it to work, when I try to use the account in
outlook I get these error messages, ill mention that this is all offsite as
well….im not on the local lan anymore, when I test the connection it says
it can find the outgoing mail server, find the incoming mail server, and log
onto the incoming mail server, but when it gets to send test email message it
fails. This is the error message: Send test email message: the specified server was found, but
there was no response from the server. Please verify that the port and ssl
information are correct. Blah blah blah. What am I doing wrong? is there some setting I am supposed
to set to be able to use the email outside the local network? The hostname is
‘superserver’ and the domain is computernick.com so for the
incoming address I put superserver.computernick.com and the outgoing server I
put computernick.com and my local account login info for the user and pass. I also added another MX record with my domain registar (addresscreation.com)
I added superserver.computernick.com, they already had computernick.com in
there by default. This is the first mail server I have ever set up so im a
little confused, aboutdebian was the first site I came across that actually
spoke English unlike the man pages I sometimes have a hard time getting
through. Let me add that this is the error that I get when I send a
message: Your message did
not reach some or all of the intended recipients.
