New Fresh Installation (Using Outlook)

[dmode]

I've been reading through the posts and been looking at my smtpd.cfg .

I'm a bit confused about something. When I use outlook express I have a rough time getting authenticated to the server using the IP Address to the server or by the hostname.

My Windows client C:\windows\system32\drivers\hosts file contains a line to resolve;
hostname.domain.name for the SCALIx server.

The SMTPD CFG File looks like this:

RELAY accept 127.0.0.1
RELAY accept hostname.domain.com
RELAY Log_Reject ALL

# extra rules added to prevent open relay usage
RECIPIENT Log_Reject *@*@*
RECIPIENT Log_Reject *%*
RECIPIENT Log_Reject *!*
RECIPIENT Log_Reject *#*@*

I wasn't sure if I needed to change the RELAY LINE to the NAT IP Address 192.x.x.x of the server or leave it at the localhost IP 127.0.0.1, so for now I'm leaving it as stated above.

Secondly, the e-mails when sending them from outlook are giving a response like this:

The message could not be sent because one of the recipients was rejected by the server. The rejected e-mail address was 'user@domain.com'. Subject 'test', Account: 'myscalixhost.com', Server: 'my.scalix.ip.address', Protocol: SMTP, Server Response: '550 Denied due to spam list', Port: 25, Secure(SSL): No, Server Error: 550, Error Number: 0x800CCC79

I have also have a question about the SCALIX SERVICE as it seems to state ;

*** hostname not present,

when restarting the service the same message appears. All of these issues are related as one issue since it is a new fresh install. All guidelines from the manual were followed.

If your sending machine does not match any of the RELAY accept rules and you have not authenticated with the SMTP Relay and you are trying to send to an external address outside of your domain, you will get this error.

Thanks, I got that fixed, it seemed to trick me, it was an authentication thing in outlook which I totally didn't see because I was trying to get SSL and ports 995 and SSL working. Now, if I generated a certificate through another application and SSL is working do I still have to follow the guidelines in the Scalix manual to regenerate a different one?

I'm no certificate major by any means, but is it possible to do secure SMTP and secure POP through outlook to scalix?

Thanks in advance..

Hi dmode,

It seems as if you've overcome many of the obstacles you encountered from your first post. Good job mate. Forgive me if I came across as a jerk, it is just that we answer many of the same questions over and over. I'm happy to see that you have reached a degree of success and have "things" working.

Having said that I'll ask you to start a new thread concerning the question:

but is it possible to do secure SMTP and secure POP through outlook to scalix?

Yes, it is possible but it is somewhat complicated. Please post the new question to the Outlook forum.

My knee-jerk reaction is to suggest that you set up a vpn. Doing so would alleviate the complications your question derives.

Further, I ask you to start a new thread as it will buy me time to give you a complete answer. I will point you to other posts and solutions through the knowledge base. And, by my estimation, this topic has not been covered definitively nor thoroughly on this forum. Having a new post will allow us to cover the topic thoroughly. I'll be learning along with you. I'll answer your new post, barring any crisises encounterd by our paying customers asap.

Best wishes,
Don

Fortuitously the question of securing pop and smtp popped up in another post today. Have a look here...
