I have tried, off and on for a while, to get SMTP mail flowing from my
board. I suspect that the ISP is cutting it off, but I am not real sure I
am even getting that far into the outside world. :)

Here is the type of error I see:

4/9 13:36:55 mail 0000 SEND Message #159 from Dumas Walker to user@somewhere.com
4/9 13:36:55 mail 0000 SEND getting message text

4/9 13:36:55 mail 0000 !Delivery attempt #3 FAILED (Failed to resolve SMTP hostname: ) for message #159 from Dumas Walker to user@somewhere.com

"user@somewhere.com" is text I substituted in for my actual e-mail account, which is an account that does exist and does receive mail from the outside world.

I am trying to use the alt SMTP port 587 because I know that 25 is blocked, and I have opened that port in my router. telnetting to that port shows
the following:

Just a wild guess here... but if you're using your provider as a relay, you need to do RelayUserName & RelayPassword as well. Try Transfer port of 465 and Submission port of 587 while clicking Login under Relay Server.

Check the Synchronet documentation, I'm sure it has specifics for relaying. Your testing and configuration seem a bit at odds. Like RelayServer is blank, I suspect HostName below is meant to be the hostname you provide to the relay server to idnetify yourself.

DM or someone else will know the specifics, but hope this helps.

Set your DNS server to your ISP's DNS server, not your routers IP, set your relay server to Robs relay server.

Tim,
Thanks, I did do that (but using 587 because my ISP blocks 25 outbound) and outbound mail is working now. I just need to figure out how to get the
inbound working. I send email to capcity2.synchro.net and it never arrives.
It also never bounces back??? Makes it more difficult to understand what is happening to it. :)

for sure.

If your provider has port 25 blocked... then you have no other choice, unless you want to make use of Rob's hospitality.

Does no-ip support a linux update client?

Thanks. I spent some time hunting for that but could not find it. Glad one of us did. :)

Bill,
You mentioned needing the reflector service... do you also have to subscribe to their alternate-port smtp service to get outgoing mail working with your domain?

No. I use my provider as a relay so I use their SSL ports to submit while supplying my username and password.

How do you get synchronet to use the right hostname for outgoing mail? In sbbs.ini, in the Mail section, I have set my new hostname up as:

HostName=capitolcityonline.net

However, the email I send out is not using that. The from fields contain
the relay host hostname.

I don't have that option in my sbbs.ini.

Run SCFG and under Networks > Internet E-Mail > System Address

That should do it.... hopefully... :)

Nevermind. I was thinking that I bet there is one other setting in SCFG that
I need to change, in addition to sbbs.ini. Sure nuff!

Thanks!

That did it. Now, if I can figure out how to turn off the DNS blacklist check I will be set. I checked the wiki... it talks about spamassassin but I don't think that is the problem. I don't have that installed on my system and I don't have the ini file section set up that would turn on synch's included version.

In the meantime, it is causing the inbound SMTP connections to time-out
because it takes too long checking the blacklist sites.
