LinuxQuestions.org - Citadel Configuration

I've installed Citadel on my local web server and unfortunately its still not working. My ISP blocks port 25 and I've setup my MX records to point to mydomain.com and can send mail to myself internally. I can't send or receive externally/outbound though -- it says connection timed out in the citadel smtp queue. Here's what I've done:

I setup a smarthost as myuser:mypass@smtp.comcast.net:25 and all outbound messages send from Webcit still sit in the que. Moreover, I still can't send any email to user@mydomain.com from say a gmail account.

Here's what I've done:

1. Under 'Administration' in Citadel, I hit 'Domain names and Internet mail configuration' and added 'mydomain.com' as a local host alias (domain for which this host receives mail). I also setup the smart host as described above.
2. Under 'Administration' in Citadel, I hit 'Edit site-wide configuration' and added 'mydomain.com' under 'Fully Qualified Domain Name'.
3. My firewall is off (all ports open), and the router forwards port 25, 143, 465, 587 and 993 to this machine.
4. My etc/network/interfaces looks like:

Code:

auto lo

iface lo inet loopback



auto eth0

iface eth0 inet static

address 192.168.5.115

netmask 255.255.255.0

gateway 192.168.5.1

5. /etc/resolv.conf looks like:

Code:

domain hsd1.comcast.net.

search hsd1.comcast.net



nameserver 68.87.69.150

nameserver 68.87.85.102

Shound this instead just read the address of my gateway/router? Like:

Code:

nameserver 192.168.5.1

6. Under /var/log/mail.info, it says:

Code:

server Citadel: Can't connect to smtp.comcast.net:25: Connection timed out
