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!

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).

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).

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":

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.
