Receiving Email with SMTP server

IBall · 12-21-2005, 02:44 AM

Hi,
I am trying to set up a mail server on Debian Testing. I have set up Courier-IMAP, and I can now send local mail to myself and receive it using a mail client on a remote machine. I am using Courier ESMTP as the MTA.

How can I get my machine to receive email, so anyone can send email to iball@my-domain.com??

I am not sure what else to post, the SMTP daemon is running, and port 25 is open. I use DynDNS to get a domain name, and the MX entry is set up with them to point to my server.

Thanks in advance
--Ian

Hi - you said that port 25 is open (I take that to mean on your server and any router firewall you have), but perhaps your ISP is blocking port 25. I can't post URLs to this forum yet, but try the Open Port Tool on the DynDNS site... to get to it, click Support and then Tools.
