Mail-Server-How to use domain name and static IP for exchanging emails
Dear All;
1. I have registered Domain name/website, suppose = test.com, hosted on another ISP.
2. I have another Static IP, suppose = 1.2.3.4
3. Now I want to setup/configure mail server to send and receive Emails for "test.com", say a user from anywhere can use mail server by using webaddress of "mail.test.com"
4. Mail server will be mange locally in my own setup, accessible from everywhere.
5. Please give some examples, howto use registered domain name (for example = test.com) with static public ip (suppose= 1.2.3.4), so user can use only mail.test.com, not static ip address.
if your domain manage by ISP you need to contact them to create
"A" record mail.test.com to 1.2.3.4 and make "MX" record with eg
priority 5 to mail.test.com
then after that you can configure mail server at 1.2.3.4
Dear routers,
Thank you very much for your reply. I'll test your given solution. I have little bit experience of managing BIND DNS System, can you please tell more about:
