Did you enable "Server requires authentication" in your email client?

[saco721]

Hi,

I have tried using outlook, but I am unsure what settings to use for incoming mail and outgoing mail, So I have used following settings :

Incoming mail server is a pop3 server ?
Incoming mail server : mail.example.com ?
Outgoing mail server : mail.example.com ?

Account name : john@example.com (same as mailbox created in ispconfig)
Password : johnspassword (same password as mailbox in ispconfig)

Have checked box "my server requires authentication". (is this what you meant?)

Have outgoing mail smtp : port 25
Incoming mail pop3 : port 110

But still dont get incoming external mail, and get the following error when sending email :

The connection to the server has failed. Account: 'john', Server: 'mail.example.com', Protocol: SMTP, Port: 25, Secure(SSL): No, Socket Error: 10061, Error Number: 0x800CCC0E

Thanks very much for your time, its just that I am new to all of this, and need a little help!

Does mail.example.com point to the correct server? You can check that with

dig mail.example.com

[saco721]

Hi,

The result of dig mail.example.com is

; <<>> DiG 9.6-ESV-R3 <<>> mail.example.com
;; global options: +cmd
;; Got answer:
;; ->>HEADER<<- opcode: QUERY, status: NOERROR, id: 21830

;; MSG SIZE rcvd: 52

This points to the external ip address of web.example.com (81.192.138.12)rather than the address of mail.example.com.

[falko]

Then you must change the A record of mail.example.com so that it points to the correct IP.

Hey Falko,

Everything nows works!, i'd just like to thank you for all the help you have given me, i'm absolutely delighted. ISPConfig is superb!
