Just a quick update

I have pointed my DNS on my domain to my server I can send e-mails to outsiders such as a gmal.com address but I cannot receive them.

I followed the instructions above but I didn’t do the SMTP.

Your help is appreciated.

PS: who ever can fix it for me can have a few beers :drinkers: , if need be you can remotely control the server.

is there an MX record for your domain pointing to your mail server?

[FN-GM]

There is, it is set to the dyndns address. Should i try my direct IP address?

[kearton]

but I didn’t do the SMTP.

[FN-GM]
