Sending mail for the first time

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

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?

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
