Thanks for that - I made the following changes: Under the IMail control panel, SMTP tab, the Default Mail Host is set to my ISP's mail server, the Domain Name Server Address is set to my ISP's, and under the SMTP Security tab, relay mail options is set to Anyone, however I now get an MX connect fail error, log file below: 08:04 10:44 SMTPD(01BF041A) server starting on port 25 of job-vacancies.com 08:04 10:44 SMTPD(006A04B2) [100.1.1.99] connect 100.1.1.99 port 1180 08:04 10:44 SMTPD(006A04B2) [100.1.1.99] HELO softech 08:04 10:44 SMTPD(006A04B2) [100.1.1.99] MAIL FROM: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> 08:04 10:44 SMTPD(006A04B2) [100.1.1.99] RCPT TO: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> 08:04 10:44 SMTPD(006A04B2) [100.1.1.99] C:\IMAIL\spool\D7bed4b2.SMD 1230 08:04 10:44 SMTP-(000001CE) processing C:\IMAIL\spool\Q7bed4b2.SMD 08:04 10:44 SMTP-(000001CE) Trying yahoo.com (0) 08:04 10:44 SMTPD(00540548) [100.1.1.1] connect 100.1.1.1 port 1189 08:04 10:44 SMTP-(000001CE) MX connect fail "205.180.60.224" Thanks again --- Daniel Donnelly <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > You should not need to tell IMail to use a gateway. > As long as IMail can get > good DNS info, it is capable of delivering mail > itself. > > Usually when one tries to send external mail and the > message is returned, that > implies that there is most likely the SMTP Security > and the Relay settings. > Suggest you set to 'Anyone', stop/start the SMTP > service and see if you can > now send the mail. > > Daniel Donnelly > Ipswitch Technical Support > ________________________________________________________ > See our Knowledge Base at > http://support.ipswitch.com/kb > URL for List Servers: > http://www.ipswitch.com/Support/mailing-lists.html > > > In reply to 3 Aug message from > [EMAIL PROTECTED]: > > >Hi I'm new here........ > > >I am trying to setup iMail server on my NT4 box > (SP5) I have an ISP with > >a > mailserver. > > >I have installed and configured iMail on the server > as best as I could > >figure, however whenever I try to send external > mail via the SMTP > >Gateway to my ISP I get an invalid user error in > the iMail log. > > >I have checked the iMail control panel settings for > SMTP Gateway and > >appear to have entered my ISP's > >mailserver address - but it fails. > > >Thanks for help > >_____________________________________________________________ > Do You > >Yahoo!? > >Free instant messaging and more at > http://messenger.yahoo.com > > >Please visit > http://www.ipswitch.com/support/mailing-lists.html > to be > >removed from this list. > > > > Please visit > http://www.ipswitch.com/support/mailing-lists.html > to be removed from this list. > _____________________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!?
