Sending Mail Outside of the Domain

[williamvanwood]

Ok. I have scalix loaded on my firewal box (fedora 5). I can send mail internally to anyone who has an account of the box. I can receive mail from the internet. But I am not able to send mail to anyone on the internet.

I have sendmail set to not run as a daemon.

Any idea's.

1> Check whether your firewall is blocking the smtp port, smtp port should be allowed to both sned and receive data inorder this to work

2> Are you using a local ip or Internet IP ? Inoder to have domains send you mail you should have Internet IP.

[williamvanwood]

the firewall is not blocking the mail being sent in or out.
The server can send mal to the internet.

The strange thing; however, I can send mail to anybody who has a scalix acount (within the domain).

If I read your first post correctly, did you disable sendmail? If so, that's your problem - Scalix needs an MTA to send email out.

I disable sendmail running as a daemon.

I edited the /etc/sysconfig/sendmail file and changed:
daemon= yes to daemon = no
I noticed when I did not change this setting smtp relay show to be idle

Mmm ... SMTP Relay's supposed to be "Started". You can use omsetsvc -a smtpd y if it doesn't come up after an omrc.

To verify, make sure that lsof -ni:25 shows sendmail listening on 127.0.0.1 and omsmtpd on the IP address of the machine (none should be listening on * ).

But I am glad you got it to work.
