Postfix MailServer on port 587

Salital · Apr 4, 2013

Hi Guys,

I'd know if somebody here can help me to check what's wrong on my Postfix configuration

ISSUE

the qaligo.com server is behind my router home (my ISP block the 25 port) I opened on my router the 465 and 587 port

but using the test command to send my email

echo 'It works' | mailx -s 'Test Message' [email protected]

I need to send email from that server

My friend is telling me that my ip is dynamic and to have an smtp mailserver I need a static ip, that's it correct?

thks,

Yes, almost all dynamic IPs are blacklisted. This link might be of interest: http://www.howtoforge.com/postfix_relaying_through_another_mailserver
