Error connecting to primary server

A few things to fix here.

I am following this article about MercuryE http://i-tech-life.blogspot.com/2010/01/how-to-send-mail-from-localhost-with.html but I changed localhost with my real public IP 

If you want to run Mercury as a normal mail server the default configuration is usually the best. The installer will prompt for most of the needed information. The most important things are the hostname (Internet name for this system in Core configuration) and local domains  (in Core as well). Mercury help usually gives good information in case something is unclear.

myname:          [172.74.77.141]    # Canonical name for this server

If you have a properly registered domain, put the domain name here instead.

MERCURYX.DLL

Disable this module unless you really need it. There is a nasty bug in the 4.72 version.

[MercuryE]

HELO : [172.74.77.141]

Session_logging : C:\xampp\MercuryMail\SESSIONS\MERCURYE

Session_logmode : 1

Poll : 15

Timeout : 60

Nameservers : 68.238.96.12,68.238.64.1
If you have a domain, HELO should preferably be domain name or hostname for this mailserver. Nameservers need to be filled in only if your Windows installation for some reason isn't providing Mercury with this information.

[MercuryS]

Debug : 1

HELO : 172.74.77.141

Logfile : C:\xampp\MercuryMail\LOGS\MERCURYS\~y-~m-~d.log

Timeout : 30

Relay : 1

Strict_Relay : 0

Interface : 172.74.77.141

HELO is not needed here, remove the line. Relay must be 0 and Strict_Relay must be 1, otherwise you will be an open relay and your server will be blocked everywhere. Interface is not needed, remove the line (this applies to all other modules as well, I won't repeat it).

[Domains]

localhost: localhost

localhost: [127.0.0.1]

 This is quite bad. It should look something like this:

mail: servername               <-- Windows name for the server

mail: domainname             <-- i.e. mydomain.com

mail: full hostname            <-- i.e. mail.mydomain.com

mail: [local IP]                   <-- i.e. [192.168.1.10]

mail: [172.74.77.141]

A restart will be required after making the changes.

First the format is wrong - local@[172.74.77.141] (square brackets needed for ip addresses).  Also, I would be surprised if gmail usually accepted those types of addresses - turn on session logging in MercuryE to find out the details.

As PaulW said you need to provide a proper hostname for the SMTP greeting, otherwise the connection will not be accepted. If you choose to use your IP address as hostname it must be within square brackets. The hostname is set in Core configuration (Internet name for this system), and can be overridden in MercuryE configuration (Identify myself as).

Additionally, some servers will refuse connections based on reverse DNS (PTR) response on IP lookups.

This looks like a general log - check the configuration to get a detailed 'session log' which will show all the smtp traffic.

As Rolf said, you don't have a reverse IP address on 172.74.77.141 so not many servers will ever accept your mail.  Get your carrier to fix that, and if you can't you will have to use MercuryC and some other relay server.

I tried to send test email but Mercury/32 not responding. I also tried to connect from my thunderbird but Mercury/32 not responding. I restart the software many times but nothing happen. I think I need to re-install the software but I don't know why Mercury not working.

Q) Do we need to restart the Mercury after every change in the setting?

Q) Where is session log option? 

I have dedicated IP and yesterday I bought a domain. I am trying to configure SMTP.mydomain.com with my server IP through ZoneEdit.com. Any idea how Mercury work with any domain through ZoneEdit.com?

 Thanks for your help.

You probably don't need to reinstall Mercury unless you have had a disk crash. You may need to get some settings right, though. Please post the contents of the mercury.ini file if you want us to help with that. There could be general networking problems as well (firewall, redirects), as well as problems with interfering antivirus software.

If you change any major item in the settings (modules, domains, interfaces, etc.) you should restart the program.

The MercuryE session log can be switched on in MercuryE configuration ( Configuration / MercuryE SMTP Client / Logging / Enable session logging). Remember to switch it off again when the test is done, though.

If the domain is correctly registered it will work with any mail server program (that's a networking/DNS matter).

I have changed my original public IP with 172.74.77.141 for security reasons on public forum. I am trying to connect my root@172.74.77.141 but its not working. Ports are free and open from router and computer firewall. MercuryE Session directory is empty even I tick session box in MercuryE.

 I am following this article about MercuryE http://i-tech-life.blogspot.com/2010/01/how-to-send-mail-from-localhost-with.html but I changed localhost with my real public IP
