First of all, hello everybody! Like many others on this forum, I hope that I can find someone to help me with a problem regarding a linux server. I would like say from the beginning that I'm new in linux, so please be patient with me . I've followed the perfect setup tutorial for Debian Etch and I don't manage to send mails by SMTP. Can someone tell me where should I look and what should I do? I will paste below the content of my config files... If I need to paste something else, please tell me. Thanks in advance! My zone file: Code: $ttl 30M mydomain.ro. IN SOA ns1.mydomain.ro. contact.mydomain.ro. ( 1193316753 10800 3600 604800 30M ) mydomain.ro. IN NS ns1.mydomain.ro. mydomain.ro.

Once again, thanks!
Now that is interesting.. I didn't do anything to the server and todai it works to connect to SMTP.. Hmmmm.. maybe the DNS was not propagated? I can't explain. Now, the problem is that if I send an e-mail from anothe address to [email protected], I don't receive that mail. But if I use webmin to send an email to [email protected], I can get that mail by using POP3 (so the poblem is not with POP3)
Code: ; <<>> DiG 9.3.4 <<>> mx mydomain.ro ;; global options: printcmd ;; Got answer: ;; ->>HEADER<<- opcode: QUERY, status: NOERROR, id: 9721 ;; flags: qr rd ra; QUERY: 1, ANSWER: 0, AUTHORITY: 0, ADDITIONAL: 0 ;; QUESTION SECTION: ;mydomain.ro.

I can't get e-mails with pop, even if I send them directly from webmin. But the mails sent from another address are stored in my mailbox on the server. [Edit] Thanks Falko for trying to help me ... and also thanks for the great tutorials you write!
and this is the result of dig mail.mydomain.ro Code: ; <<>> DiG 9.3.4 <<>> mx mail.mydomain.ro ;; global options: printcmd ;; Got answer: ;; ->>HEADER<<- opcode: QUERY, status: NOERROR, id: 52766 ;; flags: qr rd ra; QUERY: 1, ANSWER: 1, AUTHORITY: 0, ADDITIONAL: 0 ;; QUESTION SECTION: ;mail.mydomain.ro.

You need no MX record for mail.mydomain.ro (unless you want to receive emails of the form user@[B]mail[/B].mydomain.ro), but an A record for mail.mydomain.ro, and then you create an MX record for mydomain.ro that points to mail.mydomain.ro.
I've modified the mx record and now I can receive again on pop but not send on smtp . For both pop and smtp I use mail.mydomain.ro in my thunderbird config
The problem was with my ISP. They blocked the port 25.. So I made a port redirect to make it work. Thanks for everything, Falko!
