<p>The good news is that your ini file looks overall quite good. The bad news is that sending SMTP mail over the Internet requires port 25. If you can't convince your ISP to allow you to use port 25 you should switch from MercuryE to MercuryC and relay through their SMTP server.</p><p>In MercuryS configuration change server port to 25 (and set 587 as alternate if you plan to use that for message submission). Change port forwarding from your Internet firewall/router accordingly, and you should be able to receive incoming mail.</p><p>Note that the MX records for the domain points to a different IP address:</p><p> Name=ezish.com</p><p>    Type=MX, Class=1, TTL=86400 (1 Day), RDLENGTH=10</p><p>    Preference=21, Mail Exchange=mail2.ezish.com</p><p>- Name=ezish.com</p><p>    Type=MX, Class=1, TTL=86400 (1 Day), RDLENGTH=9</p><p>    Preference=10, Mail Exchange=mail.ezish.com</p><p>Additional Records Section:</p><p>- Name=mail2.ezish.com</p><p>    Type=A, Class=1, TTL=86400 (1 Day), RDLENGTH=4</p><p>    IP Address=174.37.88.145</p><p>- Name=mail.ezish.com</p><p>    Type=A, Class=1, TTL=86400 (1 Day), RDLENGTH=4</p><p>    IP Address=174.37.88.145</p><div> </div><div>Coordinate this and make sure to have both the domain name and the appropriate host name as entries under local domains in core configuration.</div><p>/Rolf </p>

<p>Hi,</p><p>   I am trying to setup my smtp server on my local system, i know port 25 for smtp is blocked from my ISP. But i know port 587 is open. </p><p> </p><p>Its resolving MX Records fine.</p><p>and i can connect to websites on telnet as well.</p><p>here is my INI file.</p><p> #  MERCURY.INI generated by Mercury Setup # # #  Sample Bindery Mode / Standalone Mode MERCURY.INI file. #  This sample file implements most of the possible switches for each #  module, but you can edit it to do less if you wish. # #  Anything after a '#' to the end of the line is a comment and #  is stripped out before parsing.
