Hi,
I have a slackware machine which has preinstalled the sendmail mail server. For this machine I have given a domain name (I have a static IP), so I'm able to administer my email through the UI of webmin, i.e. I can send and receive emails.
However I would like to use it only as an email server, i.e. what I would like to do is
- Conecting to it, by using an email client (e.g. Thundirbird) in order to receive and send emails
- Conecting to it from a web server so a to send new posts etc.
By searching around I found that in order to test the mail server from outside you can use the following series of commands:
Code:
telnet mydomain 25
helo mydomain
mail from:<useremail_in_my_domain>
rcpt to:<useremail_in_external_domain>
...
However in rcpt to: I receive an error "Relaying denied".
Here is also the DNS configuration
Code:
Name Mode Value Priority
domainname A myip 0
*.domainname A myip 0
mail.domainname MX myip 1
Any ideas, or how I could configure the email server?
Thanks in advance
