Email not sending out.

[stability1]

Hey Guys and Gals,

My setup:
Scalix 10 on FC4. Everything is installed and working fine...except for one thing. My emails wont send out to the internet. Though I can receive from places like gmail and hotmail I can't receive them.

I have ports 25, 110, and 143 open on my firewall.

Everything looks fine in scalix (nothing getting stuck in the queues and I don't receive my sent mails back) but nothing is received on the other end.

Thanks for your help in advance. If you need more details please tell me what you need.

Thanks,
Cody

That could be from a few things.

I would say that the domain you are sending to might have you on a spam list or something.

Could be that the domain couldn't do a reverse DNS lookup on your mailserver.

Best bet would be to try doing the SMTP message manually.

Telnet to port 25 of the mail server (Use www.dnsstuff.com to list the MX records for the site)

Then do the following:

Code: Select all

HELO yourdomain.com
Mail From: user@yourdomain.com
Rcpt To: user@comcast.com
Data
Subject: Test Message
This is a test

.
quit

Replace the emails with correct ones for your situation.

You should get a notice telling you why it wasn't delivered or nothing back if it was delivered successfully.

Hope that helps,
Shredder
