Cant receive or send emails to outside servers

Post by lf2b2w » 2022-05-16 09:49

I have set up my HMS with a static IP (not listed on spamhaus), set the DNS settings so the MX records are correct, including dkim and spf(I think on this one; this is whats in my DNS currently but I was confused by the CIDR naming [ v=spf1 mx a ip4:119.18.29.210/32 ip4:121.200.0.25/32 a:aussiebroadband.com.au -all ]). Have port forwarded all the ports to my local machine, my ISP blocks port 25 so it is set up to use their SMTP server. I can send local emails fine but sending from local to external or vice versa doesnt work. I dont receive any errors from gmail or hmail (and looking at the logs it seems like the emails are being sent and delivered fine) but no emails end up in my inbox on either end. Ive attached the logs from when I sent an email to gmail. But am quite confused so let me know what I need to do!

Code: Select all

Re: Cant receive or send emails to outside servers

Don't bind to local ip address.

It's not required.

By the way, how are you running your static ip address?

Is it part of your home Broadbad connection and ends up
on your broadband router at home or office OR do you run an Windows Machine or VPS Server at some Webhosting Company?

There be your problem
(You are sending to your ISP on port 25 in SMTP route)

So I should change the SMTP port? If so, what do I change it to?

If you are using a Static IP with your ISP, have you checked with your ISP to find out if the ISP would unblock it for your Static IP. A Static IP Address frequently is used with servers and Email Servers. ISPs I've heard about usually block Residential IP Addresses which are Dynamic IP Addresses. If you ask the ISP to unblock it they might do so. I use a Static IP with my ISP and my Port 25 wasn't blocked in the first place.

You should ask your ISP as you are relaying through their server

Looks like you are on Aussie Broadband... Why don't you contact support to see if you can get them to open port 25 since you have a fixed address it should be no issue ... However ... IF they don't then ask them for an incoming "Backup-MX" or SMTP Relay you can use for incoming mail.

IF they have a relay or a Backup-MX then you need to add that to your list of MX'es in DNS. This server you also have to add to hMailServer "Incoming Relays" in Advanced Settings.
