Re: Send mail through the XMail SMTP service

Hi,

DNS resolving is not the problem I think. I tried to setup a connection to the smtp server of my ISP using telnet and I get a connection. But when I send
MAIL FROM: <[email protected]>
RCPT TO: <[email protected]>
I get the response that sender's domain is not recognized. For the SMTP server of my ISP this is true. So obviously I need a sender address with a valid domain name, at least the remote smtp server must know the domain.
Is it possible to let XMail alter the from address into a valid address? I tried to add records in the FILTERS.POST-RCPT.TAB file with the command "/bin/cp $(FILE) /tmp/$(FILE).tmp", just to see if the outgoing message was copied to the tmp directory. But nothing happened. 
I also added same command to the filters.post-data.tab and filters.pre-data.tab files. No result so far. (Yes I restarted the xmail process)

Try this: "telnet smtp.gmail.com smtp", if that doesn't connect, that's your problem. If it does connect, your internet IP address is likely to be on "dynamic IP" blacklists, so your mail could easily disappear in spamfilters. A solution could be to configure your ISP's smtp server as a "smart host" ("DefaultSMTPGateways") in XMail.

[email protected] and [email protected]) and I am able to send emails between these accounts. Now I wanna send an email from one of these test account to some internet email address, let's say my gmail account. Unfortunately XMail doesn't automatically forward the email to the gmail smtp server. How can I accomplish that XMail forward all email which cannot be delivered locally?
