XMail 1.1 on Win2K
My gateway (public 217.215.74.165) portmaps the POP3 and SMTP ports to my XMail server (private 192.168.0.42). When I'm connected to the same LAN as the mailserver, I can't reach it by using its domain name "mail.hummelstrand.com" since that is "next hop" (at least that is what my colleague said was the reason for me not being able to surf or reach any service on the server by using the domainname pointing to the public IP 217.215.74.165). I can POP locally from XMail if I set up the mailclient on my laptop with the private IP for both POP3 and SMTP servers, but then I will have to change the settings every time I want to check my mail while I'm "on the outside", i.e. when I bring my laptop to work every day. The readme.txt mentions a number of examples of "home.bogus" domain, but I can't quite igure out if this applies to my problem. Thanks in advance, this was my third question, I will now crawl back into my cave and wait for help... :-) |
