I have a new installation of XMail 1.17 on SuSE 9.0 Pro (for my home network), that I've finally gotten to mostly work, and am very happy to get my email server off of MS - however, there's one small problem - I have to setup Outlook with "mail.comcast.net" as the SMTP server in order to successfully send email to an external address. If I setup Outlook to use the IP of my XMail box as the SMTP server, the email appears to be sent ok (I've got XMail running w/ full logging, and no errors are reported), however the email never arrives (I sent a test message to my Hotmail account).
The email account in Outlook does NOT have authentication turned on, nor is it configured for SSL, so I'm at a lose to understand how the comcast server "knows" whether it's talking to Outlook or XMail - but apparently it does. I'm running Outlook on another box that's on my LAN. I can receive email just fine, from both local and external sources. I can send email from Outlook to local addresses when it's configured with the XMail box as the SMTP server. Any ideas as to what's going on, or hints about where I should look? I've read the online XMail manual, however it's in there I've missed it. Thanks for the help. Larry __________________________________ Do you Yahoo!? Yahoo! SiteBuilder - Free web site building tool.
