Sending mail for the first time

[Breezers]

I have a fresh install of FC4, with a fresh install of the scalix evaluation version to try it out. The whole installation was great, no problem at all. I didn't install any extra programs, like a pop deamon but I suppose this isn't necessary. Further more I did install Tomcat and the jdk. The /webmail and /sac are working fine.

The only problem is I can't send any mail. When I try to send a mail it gives immediatly an error message like:

Code: Select all

Unable to send mail to:
user@test.domain.com

What did I missed or what can I check?[/code]

It's most likely that you do not have the IP address of your SWA server in a RELAY accept line in /var/opt/scalix/sys/smtpd.cfg.

This problem occurs usually because reverse DNS is not able to resolve the IP address of the server to a macine name.

You should stop and restart the SMTP Relay when you have made the change

Code: Select all

omoff -d 0 smtpd
omon smtpd

Well this solved my problem partially. I can send local mail, from one user to another. But whenever I try a to send a mail to an externel e-mail adres I get the same error message?

Ok, I got the external mail working by fooling around with the RELAY accept lines. But I'm confused about what should be in it? Now I have the following:

Code: Select all

RELAY accept 127.0.0.1
RELAY accept 192.168.1.35
RELAY accept mailtest.domain.nl mailtest mailtest.domain
RELAY accept .mailtest
RELAY Log_Reject ALL


192.168.1.25 is the IP adres of the server itself. Wich of this lines are neccesary to send mail trough SWA internally and externally and trough outlook internally?

[Breezers]

Of course I mean 192.168.1.35.

[ScalixSupport]

Of course I mean 192.168.1.35.

To enable all users on your network to relay ( assuming full Class-C net), please change to

192.168.1.0/255.255.255.0

Restart using omoff -d 0 smtpd ;omon smtpd
