Check the domains setting in Mercury.ini.  The domains sections should look something like this.

[Domains]
;Server : Domain
Server : Server
Server : mydomain.local
Server : [192.168.1.100

This mail mail sent to user@mydomain.local and user@[192.168.1.100] will be treated as local mail.  If you want to use the user@mydomain.local from other systems on the local LAN you'll need to setup some sort of local DNS.

This means that you do not have [192.168.1.100] in the domains section.

I have Mercury installed on a server. ip192.168.1.100

I have 2 clients

192.168.1.10

192.168.1.20

I have set up the domain to:

192.168.1.100

mydomain.local

If I send a message from Mercury I can get it from my client.

If I send a message from my client it doesn't work.

When I set the ip address do I have to put the [] around i?

Which is correct?

[192.168.1.100]

192.168.1.100

For my doman and on my client.

I use TBird as the client.

Thanks for the help,

Chris 

The form of the RFC 2821 SMTP email address is user@[192.168.1.100]  and the actual email address used in the RFC 2822 message body for the reply To: address should be the same. This will work just fine as long as none of your mail goes outside of your local lan. 

When I set up the domain is it

192.168.1.100

 or

[192.168.1.100]

For some reason I can't send from tbird to a client setup on mercury.

I have domains on mercury as follows

gibberish    mydomain.local

moregibberish    192.168.1.100

No aliass or any thing else set except usernames.

user names are

fred and wilma 

I can send an email from mercury to fred and tbird will get it.

When I send to fred from tbird I get an unable to relay for fred@[192.168.1.100]

 Any ideas?

Thanks for your help.
