Hello.
I am very new to OSX Server (but been a Mac person for years).
I have been trying to set up my home server to act as a SMTP relay for me when I work away (as I do a lot). I have had the webserver up and running for a year now, but I only now want to get SMTP working, but without upsetting the rest...
I use DynDNS as I don't have a fixed IP address, and I have updated the MX record with them... but I havent a clue how to set up the Server Admin prog.
I want to relay to my ISP's SMTP server as I have heard with a dynamic IP address it is better because of back-lookups by some receiving servers.
Do I just turn on SMTP and away I go?
See the thumbnail below for my setup...
This probably sounds obvious to some of you, but what do I put in the "Domain Name" and "Host Name" boxes?
Anything else I should know?
___________
Another question - anyone got time to explain how to set up FTP access to my sites on this server? I have been copying to the server desktop using afp and then moving things to the correct folder using VNC!
Thanks
Siddie.
