DNS Zones, needed?

Oh dear. @Quaxth most of your questions could be answered by a simple google query. I really don't know why @till is still so patient answering all the questions (mostly twice …, lucky you!).

 

That means that the SMTP could run on Port 25 only and not, let say 2525 or any other port? Thanks.

 

Thanks for your reply.

I just try to find out a way to get things working, special on ISPConfig!

 

And what's a bout a Relay Server? Those are SMTP Servers as well, could such be used? I mean in ISPConfig with my Domain! Thanks.

 

Thanks, Till. And sorry, I get a bit confused!
For what are the POP3 and IMAP? Those are for to receive Mails on Port 110 (POP3) and 145 (Imap) in general, AFAIK. SMTP is used for to send mail in general and use Port 25.
So, why I could not receive Mail on my server via, POP3 (port 110) and/or Imap (Port 145)? And use for to send a Relay Server (Port 25)?
Thanks.

 

OK, thanks for the explanation.
Tomorrow I'll check with my ISP again to get Port 25 to work on my IP, just the service I called some minutes again, told I've to pay some extra fees for that but know how much. Maybe I move my whole mails to a 3.party provider. Have to check what way is possible.
Thanks for your patient and help. Good night.

 

OK, now the Mail is working with the standard ports 25 and 587:


After I talked to my ISP today, they opened blocked Ports! I simply told them that I like to change the Service to a different company if I could not get blocked Ports opened!

What they didn't will create, is the PTR Record, but the Mail seems to work now, so I'm OK for now!

If same problems starts' again (sometimes?) I may have another solution for it, let see!

Thanks for the help and patient!

 

I was getting a call from my ISP and they're offering a creation of a PTR Record for additional US$ 50 a month!! That's as "little" as US$ 600 a year, NO Thank you!

The monthly income in Thailand is for normal people about THB 10,000.00 (or below US$ ~300.00)! So that costing is simply ridiculous!

So, I'll test that Mail Server now for the next week and if that run well, I'll add the Production Domain to the server.

Again, thanks for the help and patient so far!

 

A question: After I add a new Domain (TLD .com) to the ISPC, and I would use email service for that Domain with its exact Domain Name, I need to create the related A Records and an MX Record as well, I think, pointing to the Server with its full Server name server1.thaifw.us, is that correct? And emails to that domain (let name it example.com) like [email protected], will arrive correctly and be sending emails will show the [email protected] as sending Mail Server? Is that correct too?

I think it is, just want to be sure. Thanks for the answer.

 

Thanks for the answer.

If that problem occurs, I maybe could bypass that with a Relay Server.

I've bad experiences with that and that had cost me a lot of money too! I don't want to discuss that on the public, just to tell, it has to do with some Law in Thailand. On the other hand, if using a vserver, that run on shared servers and didn't give 100% control to the user, and that 100% control I need. And there also some limits which make the working with a shared server difficult, besides of the time consuming lower speeds for Up- and Downloads etc.!
I'd use several Providers over the last few years, incl. Linode and Digitalocean and had a lot of problems with their limits and even down times, besides of other problems. The only solution would be an own physical Server in a Datacenter and that's too much expensive!

That said, I'll carry on and use my own Server, at least for some time! Problems are facing are related to our Government, it makes many things very difficult! Even to simply register a .co.th Domain, is a PIA, and will have a lot of restrictions the user has to follow!

Anyway, thanks a lot for your answer and advice, which seems to be Ok for Germany or Europe, but Thailand.
