Do you mean that you can send mail from your Postfix server to your cox email account but not to anyone else? If so, do you get a bounce message or is your message refused when you send it or does it just not get received? If the ISP blocks outgoing port 25, you will send a message to an external address and it will just disappear. You can still send mail to local ISP accounts because port 25 traffic is only blocked at the router for outgoing traffic, internally, it still works. The local mail server accepts your mail because it recognizes that your IP is internal to its network, so it accepts the traffic. If that seems to be what is happening, then your outgoing port 25 is probably blocked. If your port 25 is open and you want to check it, simply try to telnet to port 25 of your external WAN IP address. If your postfix server responds, then port 25 is not blocked. I am pretty sure that you should NOT be using the cox mail server address. Any mail bound to your myvnc.com domain will not be recognized by the cox mail server and will be refused. If they have agreed to accept mail for your domain and let you download it from them, you should use their mail server. The MX record at no-ip.com needs to be the hostname of a mailserver. If you were using an external mail hosting service that collects your mail and then sends it to your machine, this is where you would put the name of that mail server hostname. Otherwise, I am pretty certain that you leave that blank. You can also set wildcards so that all requests to your domain are sent to the IP you have updated. So, www.no-ip.com, mail.no-ip.com, ftp.no-ip.com, etc. -- Bryan Phinney Software Test Engineer I never bet a bounce back and nobody can telnet to me even with my router port opened so i guess the outgoing 25 is blocked? so does that mean incoming is blocked also? -- jason pearl [EMAIL PROTECTED] ++ Keep your friends close and your enemies closer-Tupac ++ Kurrupted Visionz Phx, AZregistered linux user #307811 MDK 9.2 LinuxMachine# 193475, 227341 AMD64 Opteron 1.6http://counter.li.org ASUS SK8N uptime: 10:15:52 up 3 days, 15:37, 3 users, load average: 0.07, 0.02, 0.00 pgp0.pgp Description: PGP signature

Re: [newbie] test message
considering the nature of the internet, the fact that i would rather do it myself (please mom), the great deal of cash we expend to be on this list, I would suggest that control is almost always better if _I_ control it, so for those reasons I would suggest a local filter would be a better choice. in almost 9 years on-line, my /dev/null has never filled up.

yeah, that hit me after a few days. thank i dont filter it to /dev/null but to the trash folder. it fills up but at least i dont get to see the message as i can just throw the buggers out with all the trashmails. the only reason im suggesting it is that some still access through dial-ups and that thrash is still causing some money on the poor slob (including me!) if only my free popmail account supports filtering at the server then all is set... ciao!
