My Email server please help

**gorden** · 10-29-2009, 04:17 PM

Hi everyone,

I have been searching on how to do this for days and I could not get anything. I have a DNS, Email server and domain controller. I am able to send emails with that account I made with email server. But I cannot get emails. I am using Godaddy.com to just host my domain name. I was surprising if someone could help me. I have remote desktop so someone could come in and repair it or tell me how to do it. I am also running through a router. I have IP address of my server port forward to port 25 and 110 and 80.

Hi,

Your maximum record indicates smtp.pharaohservers.com which solves to IP 0.0.0.0. Make a record for smtp.pharaohservers.com to your external IP address then it must work.

Now I got my IPS blocks port 25 for outgoing. Is there any way to work with port 589?

If port 25 is blocked you get nothing instead of problems. If you advance to a static IP they will unblock port 25. Is this for business or own use?

I am starting up a business for dedicated server hire. I actually can’t pay for to do it until somebody hires one out. But as soon as that take place I can provide them a static ip for its own server and business internet with all ports open.

You would probably save money by leasing a block of 8 IP's at a time rather then add one here and there. Not only that but they will be constant numbers. If I was you, I would host email off site until you can obtain those IP's so you don't do crazy configs to obtain around port 25 just to revert them again in future.

Yes I know what you mean. But I hate being restricted by some thing. I always attempt to get a way around some thing if it is blocked. I feel internet should be free so I attempt to get around stuff to do that. But did you know of a way to just use port 589. I heard that is the elective port to port 25. But would other servers like Gmail be able to talk to it to send email?
