actually, there is an actual IP address from the outside. it all seemed to work fine before, but since the new host, i cant reach either from the outside.
i can ping imail.server.com for both hosts and get replies back from the IP 68.xxx.xxx.xxx, but i still am not able to use the hostname as the pop/smtp servers in the mail clients. where do you recommend i start checking for errors? thanks, jason ----- Original Message ----- From: "Sanford Whiteman" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: "Jason Wilson" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Sent: Wednesday, November 05, 2003 11:05 PM Subject: Re: [IMail Forum] Accessing mail outside of LAN > > now that the second host is in place, users can no longer get their > > mail from outside of our lan. i.e. imail.server.com doesn't work, > > but 192.168.1.99 works for both pop and smtp. > > Hostname.example.com is resolved to an IP address via DNS or HOSTS; > this has nothing to do with IMail.
