STEP BY STEP CONFIGURATION OF EMAIL SERVER

> I made changes to the SMTP server port (=465) and the SMTP address (=smtp.1and1.com), i now receive the following error message;

This is a good ESMTP host.  I was able to connect to port 25 normally via telnet.

Start | Run telnet smtp.1and1.com 25 returns

I says it supports STARTTLS and ESMTP aurthorization

I suspect you are still trying to connect to the wrong port.

Use port 25.  This one is saying it uses STARTTLS which uses the standard port 25 or maybe the submission port 587 since it responds to port 587 as well.  In any case try port 25 first.

You have not set authorization the the server is requesting it. You might need to to relay off this server.

> POP3_Host : smtp.1and1.com
> POP3_Port : 465

Use port 25 instead of port 465 unless you know what type of secure connection is required by the host.

Not sure what you are doing here.  MercuryS must have port 25 open to receive mail from the outside world unless you are receiving from a special gateway or forwarding system on this alternate port.  

In any case, I cannot telnet into either of these ports to the artwales.biz IP address.

I am a newbie to messaging in general. I stumbled on Mercury a few days back and was impressed with the fact that, though free, it is packed with functionalities usually seen in paid-for solutions.

My purpose is to deploy Mercury as an intranet and internet email solution but i have not been successful on both fronts.

I would be grateful if i can, in plain English, get a step by step walkthrough on how to do this.

I have tried doing this and have received errors bordering on queueing errors "error ff", connection errors and the likes.

I have domains registered with 1and1.com and Gandi.net.

Also, considerations should be given to the possibility that port 25 may be blocked but i believe this should not be applicable to intranet messaging (messaging within a LAN).

I would be grateful if i can, in plain English, get a step by step

walkthrough on how to do this.

This is not really possible since every system and installation is unique.

I have tried doing this and have received errors bordering on

queueing errors "error ff", connection errors and the likes.

I have domains registered with 1and1.com and Gandi.net.

 

One of these has an IP address, the other does not.  Is this a fixed IP address?  Do the MX hosts know where to send the mail to get to this IP address?

How are you planning to get the mail?  POP3?  SMTP?

Answer Section:

    Gandi.net, MX, 30, mail3.Gandi.net

In any case provide us with a copy of your mercury.ini file and we will go through it and provide answers and recommendations to fix the problems.

Receiving via MercuryS so this means that you either have a fixed IP address or the MX hosts know how to get to your MercuryS host to send via SMTP.  That said the IP address 74.208.138.235 does not respond to a connection on port 25.  This could mean that the ISP is blocking port 25, the firewall is not set to pass port 25, or port 25 is not being passed by the router to the Mercury system.  I does not respond the the alternate port (587) setup in MercuryS either.

The MX hosts do respond to port 25.  I do not know if they will pass the mail to your server.



> [MercuryC]
> Host : mail.1and1.com

This host does not respond to port 25 or port 587.  Nor does the DNS return an IP address for this host name.

Good! Relaying is turned off.

If this server is ever to be available on the internet this must be set to 1 to turn on strict relaying.

Reasonable but you probably should also have the IP address in brackets if this is a fixed IP address.

I made changes to the SMTP server port (=465) and the SMTP address (=smtp.1and1.com), i now receive the following error message;

Connection error during handshake with smtp.1and1.com

failed

Error FF servicing queue job.
