Re: [xmail] Send mail through the XMail SMTP service

[Eelko]

Hi,

DNS resolving is not the problem I think. I tried to setup a connection to the 
smtp server of my ISP using telnet and I get a connection. But when I send
MAIL FROM: te...@home.lan
RCPT TO: eelko...@gmail.com
I get the response that sender's domain is not recognized. For the SMTP server 
of my ISP this is true. So obviously I need a sender address with a valid 
domain name, at least the remote smtp server must know the domain.
Is it possible to let XMail alter the from address into a valid address? I 
tried to add records in the FILTERS.POST-RCPT.TAB file with the command 
/bin/cp $(FILE) /tmp/$(FILE).tmp, just to see if the outgoing message was 
copied to the tmp directory. But nothing happened. 
I also added same command to the filters.post-data.tab and filters.pre-data.tab 
files. No result so far. (Yes I restarted the xmail process)

 Hi Eelko,
 
 XMail does normally forward non-local e-mails to external SMTP servers. A 
 more likely cause of your problem is that your ISP is blocking outbound 
 access to SMTP ports to prevent spam. Try this: telnet smtp.gmail.com smtp, 
 if that doesn't connect, that's your problem. If it does connect, your 
 internet IP address is likely to be on dynamic IP blacklists, so your mail 
 could easily disappear in spamfilters. A solution could be to configure your 
 ISP's smtp server as a smart host (DefaultSMTPGateways) in XMail.

 Hello,
 
 I have a question about the configuration of XMail. I setup the XMail server 
 for the domain home.lan. I created some users (eg. te...@home.lan and 
 te...@home.lan) and I am able to send emails between these accounts. Now I 
 wanna send an email from one of these test account to some internet email 
 address, let's say my gmail account. Unfortunately XMail doesn't 
 automatically forward the email to the gmail smtp server. How can I 
 accomplish that XMail forward all email which cannot be delivered locally?
 
 BTW, the server can access the Internet and nslookup smtp.gmail.com gives 
 a valid answer.
 
 
 Any suggestions are welcome.
 
 Thanks in advance,
 Eelko.
