No route to host

[hawkeye]

I can recive emails from anyone, and can send messages to another scalix account on my server, but I can not send messages to other email address(username@gmail.com, username@yahoo.com, username@hotmail.com, etc.) I think it may be a sendmail problem. I keep getting a stat=Deferred:: No route to host type of error. Here is some of the log in the mailog file for sendmail:

On your Scalix server, type in

telnet gsmtp163.google.com 25

See if you get a SMTP conversation going on that port.

If you do not get a connection on port 25, it is either firewalled locally or by your provider. If you are with SBC DSL, check if they firewalled port 25. The SMTP submission port 587 has to be used then. (redo the same test as above but instead of 25 use 587)

Best would be to use a mail relay then, your SBC support can help you out with the exact hostname, password and such.

Cheers,

Sascha.

My internet provider (tds) has blocked port 25 so how do I change my outgoing email server to be smtp.tds.net for Scalix Communtiy?
