There isn't enough information to say exactly what's wrong, but I could give you some pointers for you to start checking on.

- MX records are expected to contain an A record or a CNAME record, never an IP address. 

- Make sure there isn't a firewall blocking access to mail ports on the PC running Mercury.

- Make sure there is a port forward from your Internet modem/router/firewall to the Mercury PC for mail services that should be available from the Internet (SMTP and perhaps POP3 and/or IMAP).

- Verify that the Local domains section in Core configuration is properly filled in (see Mercury help about this).

- Check the console windows in Mercury for error messages.

Hi folks.

I've installed mercury, on a pc using a Fixed IP.

 I keep receiving this message:

Temporary error 249 (Temporary MX resolution error) Resolving '192.168.1.6'

192.168.1.6 it's the localhost.

I've an account on freedns.afraid.org and have created the A, and MX entries pointing to the fixed IP.

I called my ISP and ask them to activate Reverse DNS on my IP. The just do that.

Ive also created a txt entrie for SPF, and putted it on freedns.

I can't receive Emails, and can't almost send any email to any account. In 5 retries, i could deliver just one message to Yahoo.

I'm new to mail servers, please don't be bad with me!

Thank you!
