all work fine i can send and receive email whit my domain .
But i need to configure outlook , i have one question , in the fields pop3 and smtp , what I must insert?
i have try with pop3.mydomain.com and smtp.mydomain.com , but doesn't work .

in those fields you have to insert the IP / DNS of your Server.
If you did not split up pop3 / smtp to different servers, both are the same.

In your case pop3.mydomain.com as well as smtp.mydomain.com have to point to the ip of your server. But you can safely insert any other dns-name pointing to your servers IP or the IP directly.
To verify to what your client resolves the DNS, run sth. like

nslookup DNSNAME (Windows / Linux (deprecated) )
dig DNSNAME (Linux / Windows with Linuxutils)

 

hi ,
i have try to put my ip in this fields but it's the same , doesn't work.
if i try to ping smtp.mydomain.com or pop3.mydomain.com i see my ip .
i have try in my server fedora dig DNSNAME
this is the answer :

[root@mydomain ~]# dig DNSNAME

; <<>> DiG 9.3.3rc2 <<>> DNSNAME
;; global options: printcmd
;; Got answer:

And what kind of error do you get? Normally Outlook gives an errormsg.

 

i have this

Your server has unexpectedly terminated the connection. Possible causes for this include server problems, network problems, or a long period of inactivity. Account: 'mydomain mail', Server: '151.x.x.x', Protocol: POP3, Port: 110, Secure(SSL): No, Socket Error: 10053, Error Number: 0x800CCC0F

thanks

 

could you post the output of

tail -f /var/log/maillog

while trying to access via Outlook?

beside this, authentication for both sending and receiving mail is activated?

 

I don't see an ANSWER SECTION here which means that pop3.mydomain.com and smtp.mydomain.com don't exist. Please post your real domain name here.

 

pop mail account name

I had the same error message on my clients' outlook account setup. The error was NOT in the server names but in the account name.
You need to use the server's account naming convention, like web2_joe for [email protected].

Sine I adapted my setup instructions to that, I have not received a call for setup support or a client not receiving their mail

I hope this helps,
