Dear Scott, Thanks for your time looking at my problems. But first let me clarify this, i'm not gmx.net :). I'm just sending emails to gmx.net so that i know if my mails are going through it. My mails are working fine back when i was using version 6. When I upgraded to version 8 it doesn't send my outgoing messages. I tried to look at the logs and found out that imail connects using my internal IP which is 192.168.200.11.
Anyway, i guess my issues are fine now. I reinstall version 8 and delete the host and setup a new host to use my external ip. My outgoing mails are now working. :) Thanks again! -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Behalf Of R.

If you are gmx.net, there definitely is a problem with your MX records (there are two MX records, and both point to the same IP). Unless you can give me a good reason for this (note that it now causes a FAIL at http://www.dnsreport.com/tools/dnsreport.ch?domain=gmx.net ), you should fix it. But if you are gmx.net, then you either didn't properly explain your problem (you said "i can't send mail outside"), or the log file entries aren't related to your problem. You were stating that you can't *send* mail (which implies outgoing mail). But if gmx.net is your domain, then that is local-to-local E-mail (mail from a user of your to a user of yours). >The settings are the same it's just >using my internal nic's IP address. If only theres a way that Imail can use >my external IP i think this will work. So the problem is with local-to-local E-mail? If so, IMail needs to know the gmx.net domain (either as a host name or a host alias, or in the HOSTS file). >With regards to firewall i'm using ISA but it's on a separate machine and my >mail server isn't behind my firewall, it has its own dedicated IP. Do you >think ISA has a hand with this?? I'll help you as soon as you help me. :) Or, the polite version is "I don't know if it is your firewall, I need more information first": > If you run telnet on the IMail server, can you connect to port 25 of a > mailserver (for example, "telnet mail.declude.com 25")? However, it looks like the problem is very different than you first described -- so you'll need to take over here and re-describe the problem. -Scott --- Declude JunkMail: The advanced anti-spam solution for IMail mailservers.
