New to Mac, keep getting relay access denied trying to send mail.

[matthewst]

I'm new to MAC's so someone will need to hold my hand through this process.

I need to get email working on our web server. The problem I have is I don't know how to do it. I've enabled "email" in workgroup manager for my users. I've checked "webmail" in serveradmin. But not sure what else I need to configure to make email work.

When I send an email from www.mydomain.net/webmail it saves a copy in my sent items but the mail doesn't go to the recipient. If I send an email from Gmail or Yahoo to anyone at username@mydomain.net I get a "relay access denied" error.

Played with some settings. Now I keep getting this error.

Warning: fsockopen() [function.fsockopen]: unable to connect to localhost:25 in /usr/share/squirrelmail/class/deliver/Deliver_SMTP.class.php on line 59
ERROR:

You need to include the ips for the local computers in the list for allowed ip address which may relay. Include all (range is possible, e.g. 192.168.42.0/24 (all addresses starting with 192.168.42 as 24 bits are included). Do not forget to include 127.0.0.1/32 as that address is sometimes internally used.


Good luck, kees

You need the specify the REAL url (e.g. macosx.com) for the DOMAIN name. Otherwise the server has no clue for which DOMAINs to accept mail. If you have more as ONE DOMAIN, you can specify them also

For the SERVERNAME i use the same, but you could make it something like mailserver.macosx.com.


Good luck, Kees
