Setting up on LAN behind router

[pmccrackan]

Hi, I'm new to this game!
I'm setting up on a LAN, at home.
I have a static IP for my WAN connection from my ISP.
I have got my MX record set etc.
Is is just a matter of port forwarding from the router the required ports, 25 etc to get connected to the outside world?
I will mostly be using this as a web mail service for myself and possibly a few family members.
I have had a practice run with a test domain and got everything working internally (inside my LAN)
It's running on a vmware box so snapshots sure come in handy!
Any tips greatly appreciated.
Cheers, Peter.

You'll need to do some port forwarding, for sure. 25 for incoming SMTP, 80 for the web client and so on.

Hi, thanks for that. All is working now, once I figured out that my ISP was blocking ports 25 and 80!
No doubt I still have lots to do, like anti virus etc. But it's up and running at least.
Cheers, Peter.
