I can´t receive mails ( GW6.5 - Netware 5.0 )

[bynico27]

People.-

I need your help!.-
I can´t make that my server receive mails!!, I can send but not receive.-
I tested the follow :

a) Ping to any FQDN from my netware server and all is ok
b) I used the utility GWIP for test the port 25 and all is Ok
c) Ping from outside of my network ( from my workplace for example ) to my internet_domain_name.com.ar and it is resolved ( but not responding because my firewall is active )

Another idea for that i can resolve my problem??
Thanks and greetings from Argentina

Is port 25 open on your firewall for inbound connections?

You need to test it from the outside of your network. Email me privately and I'll see if I can connect to it from here.

What is your internet connection type?

Bynico,

You can also use a Telnet program to connect to port 25. From outside of your Firewall you should be able to talk to the GWIA and using the right commands make it send a message out. Also, you need to do an MXlookup to verify the IP address points to your Firewall. This will effect your incomming E-mail but will not prevent you from sending E-mail. The MX record is in your DNS setup and usually your ISP enters this for you.
