Who hosts your domain name?

218.248.240.134
218.248.240.208

Doom means provider ... i.e. who have you registered you domain with

sorry, i really not understand. actually i've bsnl broadband connectivity, and having dynamic ip. i not registered domain anywhere. sorry but i'm just trying to make a mailserver, and really not know the things well related it. plz guide me. i'll thankful to all.

ah ...

why do you want one?

If you have no domain name then you won't be able to send mail; also, if you're on a dynamic ip 99% of servers won't accept your mail anyway as they will treat it as spam.

now i just created a new domain in hMailServer namely abhi.com and the result from diagnostics all test results are giving me "green".

the host is shown smtp.secureserver.net and mailstore1.secureserver.net

and when i'm trying to connect to my client thunderbird, the incoming server is shows as connected, but smtp shows not connected...........

now what...?

do you own abhi.com or did you just make it up because abhi.com is owned by someone in the USA and you are from India. You cannot just use someone elses domain name and expect it to work.
