RE: [IMail Forum] New user setup questions

[William Devine, II]

The world cannot point to a 10.x network.  You have to point to a valid Internet IP# that your router would either translate internally or proxy internally.  On some routers you simply set them up to pass certain ports through to a particular internal IP# and it does the inbound proxies (netopia for example and Ascend if you're using IDSL).  Cisco's can be setup to map a valid outside IP# to a fake inside IP# and translate one to one, or you can use inbound port translation like the other two do. william -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]]On Behalf Of Joe Halloran Sent: Monday, July 19, 1999 9:25 PM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: [IMail Forum] New user setup questions Pardon my greenness - we just got our dsl connection and I am now trying to get imail to talk to the rest of the world.  Current set up is as follows:   We are using our isp's dns servers.  The isp has filled out the mx record at his place to point to our internal ten net ip via our router - I think the router does the final address translation to the ten net ip.  When I try to send mail via the imail smtp server I get this error:   "The message could not be sent.....rejected by the server.  The rejected email address was ................, Server Response: 550 not local host.... not a gateway........"   If I send mail to the imail server via the isp's smtp server it does come back in - I need to test whether it will come in from another isp (send me a message at [EMAIL PROTECTED] if you want to help me test!!).   Some test messages that I sent earlier seem to have gotten thru - at least the header reports that the targer received it from our imail smtp server.....but now all is error.   So - any leads, hints, clues or outright solutions much appreciated!   Joe Halloran
