Can't send mail, port 25 blocked

[Valerion]

You should not set SWA to sent mail to your ISP directly, you will break the SMTP auth it requires. Set it to the IP address of your Scalix server (not 127.0.0.1). If you want to send mail to your ISP you need to edit the SMARTHOST in your sendmail.mc and rebuild the sendmail.cf.

Done!
Set it to 192.168.1.50 which is the local IP port of the server, my public is dynamically set so I don't think I can use that one,right?

And I've restarted the server. I think!

Code: Select all

 omoff -w -d 0 smtpd
 omon smtpd


Still no show

Thanks again, though

Code: Select all

# telnet 192.168.1.50 25


what answers?

Just like I think it should look like, isn't it?

Yup, that looks fine. It also means you can use smtp debugging to see a test message go through, and figure out where it's ending up.

Nice
I'd love to, just don't know how. Is there any good How-To ?

Thanks a lot!

I don't think there's a HowTo, but there are many posts on smtp debugging. Basically, you'll add debug_log=true to sys/smtpd.cfg, restart it and look at the tmp/smtpd-*.log.

Ok,
I'll try that in a couple of days, I'm off for vacation a while.
Some people are lucky, others have vacation

Thanks again!

Ok,
I'm back, and the problem is still too obvious. Was able to read my mail on the trip, but not answering

Checked a few things and firstly I added debug_log=true to smtpd.cfg, restarted it and looked for the log, Nowhere to be found
Then I tried some forums about smtp debugging and found that I could check how the status of the services were (omstat -a) and, hurray or something...

At least there's some progress. I think

Any help appreciated
