Do you get a smtp prompt when you run the following command on your server: To close the connection, type "quit".
interesting... it does not.... Code: Trying 216.239.57.83... telnet: connect to address 216.239.57.83: Connection timed out Trying 64.233.171.83... telnet: connect to address 64.233.171.83: Connection timed out Trying 64.233.161.83...
Now I do. Code: telnet gmail-smtp-in.l.google.com 25 Trying 64.233.163.114... Connected to gmail-smtp-in.l.google.com (64.233.163.114). Escape character is '^]'. 220 mx.google.com ESMTP 38si10209262nzf ehlo localhost 250-mx.google.com at your service, [121.6.72.245] 250-SIZE 20971520 250-8BITMIME 250 ENHANCEDSTATUSCODES What does it mean? I can only send emails to [email protected]?
No, you can send emails to [email protected], gmail-smtp-in.l.google.com is just the Mail exchanger for gmail.com. Is your server hosted on a DSL or cable line with dynamic IP address?
It's ADSL and on a dynamic ip but I got the IP static and relevant DNS entries point to this IP, including the official domain, fusionstream.org which points directly to it.
dammit.. i am... zzz thx for help.. fyi.. using uebi still gives me all sorts of problems when sending mail even to myself but squirrelmail doesn't so... yea.. haha thx
