Topic: mail server with dyndns from VMware

I have setup a mail server with iRedMail 0.7.0 using your guide from here:http://code.google.com/p/iredmail/wiki/Installation_on_Debian
I have a dynamic IP address which is bounded to a domain name i used in dyndns.org lets say it mydomain.ath.cx
All ports are forwarded properly to the virtual machine IP but when i try to send an email lets say to test@example.com from test@example.com or from hotmail it doesn't work.I can telnet to my local ip address and also to the localhost address.
my hosts file is:
127.0.0.1       localhost
127.0.1.1       mail.example.com
192.168.2.118   mydomain.ath.cx
# The following lines are desirable for IPv6 capable hosts
::1     ip6-localhost ip6-loopback
fe00::0 ip6-localnet
ff00::0 ip6-mcastprefix
ff02::1 ip6-allnodes
ff02::2 ip6-allrouters

my hostname is mail
web server also works meaning i can access from everywhere mydomain.ath.cx/mail and see the roundcude interface,login and send mail but the mails just arent allowed from postfix i think.

I post part of the /var/log/main.log file:

i tried also to mail to for example atroulis@mydomain.ath.cx but still the same problem

Your amavisd service is not running.

It's better to do a quick search in google or this forum first.

Re: mail server with dyndns from VMware

You were right i searched a bit and removed the amavisd requirement by removing 'content-filter=' in postfix main.cf, then restarted postfix service.
Thank you!

You should just start amavisd. Removing 'content-filter=' will also remove anti-virus and some anti-spam features on iRedMail.

Re: mail server with dyndns from VMware

Ok ill try that.Is there a way to send email to hotmail or gmail with a dynamic IP or shall i get a static one?Cause i read that they blacklist all the dynamic IP's and mine seems blacklisted when i enter it here:http://www.mxtoolbox.com/blacklists.aspx
Is there a configuration in iReadMail to use ISP's mail server to forward mail to the above sites through them?

Re: mail server with dyndns from VMware

You have to use a static IP address for production server.

To relay outgoing mails, search postfix setting 'relayhost' here:
