Hi,
fairly new to setting up email servers and im currently just playing about with ip addresses for servers instead of actual domain names.
If i setup my smtp server i am able to send emails out using my local ip address of my server eg.192.168.0.1 but from within that same location i cant use the external address on the internet eg.10.10.10.90. I can also send emails if im at another location and point it to the external ip but i guess there is some conflict when using the external ip when behind that actual ip address.
Maybe i need to use a proxy server but i was hoping there would be an easier way round it.
Hope you can advise.
