I've just installed OpenBSD 3.8...my first ever *nix. I've got most up

guidelines on this page http://www.nomoa.com/bsd/mailServer.htm to the
letter. All the localhost tests work, but when I try to send a test
message from out of the domain I never get it. Also, I am not sure what
my domain would be, but I tried sending to both
[EMAIL PROTECTED] & [EMAIL PROTECTED] skyblue.mine.nu is
my registered domain name, but the full name of my server is, as you'd
guess, server.skyblue.mine.nu.
What does the mx record of your dns point to? Can this machine receive
mail on port 25? Try telneting to the machine pointed to by your mx record
from outside of your domain as a first step.
mine.nu appears to be your domain and resolves as follows:-
Non-authoritative answer:
mine.nu mail exchanger = 20 mail.dyndns.com.
mine.nu mail exchanger = 50 mx2.mailhop.org.
Authoritative answers can be found from:
mine.nu nameserver = ns1.dyndns.org.
mine.nu nameserver = ns2.dyndns.org.
mine.nu nameserver = ns3.dyndns.org.
mine.nu nameserver = ns4.dyndns.org.
mine.nu nameserver = ns5.dyndns.org.
ns2.dyndns.org internet address = 204.13.249.81
ns3.dyndns.org internet address = 204.13.250.81
ns4.dyndns.org internet address = 213.155.150.205
ns5.dyndns.org internet address = 63.170.10.81
Is this at your ISP though?
Hope this helps...
