Well, we've got the first part of it working . The smtp server from Ziggo and UPC might differ a bit, but as long as they relay the messages, nobody cares
Now, for the receiving e-mail part, you will need to make sure that you are sending e-mail to the right IP address.
From the same LAN as the NAS is connected go to http://www.whatismyip.com and make a note of your public IP addresss. Now open a command prompt and type:
Code: Select all
ping <mydomain.name>
I suspect they won't match.
1. If you need a website running on the current mydomain.name IP address, then you will need to change the MX record and point it to the public IP address
2. If you are just using the mydomain.name for email (or will run the website on your NAS), you will need to set the IP address of the domain to the public IP address, the MX record will then follow the new IP address
After you have modified the IP addresses, it may take some time (hours) to propagate through the DNS hosts. Use an
Code: Select all
ipconfig /flushdns
You will need to be able to connect to your domain name on port 25 and have your NAS respond to it before you can receive mail.
When you get this working with the mydomain.name you can enter the following commands in the telnet session:
Code: Select all
helo
mail from:test@test.nl
rcpt to:admin@mydomain.name
subject:test
This is a test.
