DNS MX records should contain a host name - that is a name you have set up with an 'A' record pointing to an IP address.

I have Mercury Mail (obviously). But it won't send anything. All I get is spam from postmaster and admin. It says that it can't send a message and continues to do that for a long time. Till I stop it. By exiting the software. I can't send the mail anywhere. Or to it.

Can someone help me configure it correctly?

Probably can help but we need to know what you have done to setup either MercuryE or MercuryC. What error messages are you getting? Could you show us a copy of your mercury.ini file?

Host needs to be defined as your ISP smart host. Otherwise use MercuryE instead.

Thanks! Now it sends mail normally! :) :) But, it still doesn't send confirmation e-mails if someone would register at my site... a bit of code

$send = mail($email , "Registration Confirmation" , "Thank you for registering with Techgeeks.\n\nYour username and password is below, along with details on how to activate your account.\n\nUser: ".$username."\nPass: ".$pass."\n\nClick the link below to activate your account:\nhttp://techgeeks.oo.lv/activate.php?id=".$act."\n\nPlease do not reply, this is an automated mailer.\n\nThanks", "FROM: whatshould@Iwritehere");

That is the send part of it... and what exactly should I write in the FROM part? I've made a user called registration@localhost . Should I write that there? Or something else?

At first this is PHP and has nothing to do with Mercury.

For the FROM you should enter the FROM address which you like, e.g. registration@yourdomain.

Next you have to tell PHP which mailserver to use, if you are running PHP on WIN32 you have to change php.ini (normally within windows directory) like this:

[mail function]
; For Win32 only.
SMTP = 192.168.2.3 ; <- This should be the IP where MercuryS is listening
sendmail_from= webmaster@yourcomain ; for Win32 only

At Mercury under Configuration / MercuryS SMTP Server, tab Connection control you should enter the IP of your webserver as allowed.

After this it should run without problems.

Yes, you enter your external IP (NOT the 192.168.1.1 or 127.0.0.1).

Go to http://www.ip-adress.com/ to get your external IP. That will be the IP to enter.

Good luck!

Ok, I entered the IP, but now there is something wrong with php.ini . The register script shows

Telnet into port 25 and see what happens. You should get a response from MercuryS something like this.

220 tstephenson.com ESMTP server ready.

This looks like you have not actually gone through the Mercury/32 configuration to setup all the required protocols. When you install XAMPP it does not actually configure Mercury/32, you need to do that yourself.

I entered o localhost 25, was that correct? I guess so...

But my guess is, that either the script or php.ini is the fault, because now I can send mail from the Mercury and Mozilla Thunderbird...

Something with your XAMP installation/configuration might be wrong, unfortunatly I do not know this environment.

I checked your MX and there is no one:

If you have a fixed IP, then enter this IP as your MX IP, if not ask the company where you got your domain how to point mails for your domain to your mailserver.

BTW. I tried a DNS check on techgeeks.oo.lv, but received only an error:

I have my IP entered there! I don't have the MX IP entered... MX is for mail, afaik.

Anyways, I got an e-mail from Mail Delivery System saying this:

And about 12 the same lines...

So, all I want to know now is, what should I enter in the MX IP field???

Ha ha ha...

OK, I will explain as much as I know of my current situation.

When I register with demo@techgeeks.oo.lv (that is my domain), it sends the activation mail.

When I register with an email from gmail.com, I don't get anything.

When I send a mail from gmail.com, I get that message.

When I send from Mercury to gmail.com, I don't receive.

My domain settings are:

Mode: A

IP/Host: **.***.***.** (my IP)

MX: Checked

MX IP: **.***.***.** (my IP)

I hope that clears something... currently the thing I want to know the most, is what I entered in MX IP field is correct. If not, what should I write there?
