I have Fedora Core 1 and I cannot set up my mailserver to receive/send mail outside of my network. How can fix this?

thanx bp

A little more details will help.. what mail server are you using, are you using a domain name, any other details helps too?

Sorry :-). It's not working and it's frustrating :-). Ok, I am running everything off of my laptop: vsftp, apache and sendmail. I have tried everything to get it to work. I have dns service through dnydns.org -- I have a dynamic IP and a router. So, my laptop is connected to the router which services as the firewall too. I've set up port forwarding to my laptop. My domain and host name are the same (mydomain.net), however; in order for the http service to work I had to set up port forwarding to http://www2.mydomain.net:8989/; in addition, I had to map www2.mydomain.net to the static address assigned to this comp. on my LAN by the router.
I hope this helps.

Thank you

I CANNOT SEND OR RECEIVE ANYTHING. I used to be able to send mail, now it's not working for some reason. I am using EVOLUTION -Email client

First, try to get local delivery working. If it's not working locally, it surely won't work sending outside deliveries. Check if you setup your router to open port 25 and forward it to your email server. From your dyndns.org account, make sure the IP being used for your domain name is the same as your current IP address.

Had the same problem. Did a google, found this http://www.fraw.org.uk/cltc/document...ltc-doc-04.pdf

That will get you going no problem. Follow it step by step. And remember... google is your friend.

The site you gave me did help, however; Now I can receive mail but cannot send it outside of my network. What could be the problem?

Error messages please?.. It seems you keep asking for help but do not realize we are not psychic..
