SMTP Server

[squishy]

Hello everyone.

I have MailEnable installed and I use it in conjunction with PHP's mail() function. PHP settings access it through localhost.

It used to work way back when... but I have since moved and have a new IP, I have also gotten a new domain name, and I reinstalled the latest WebServer software. Now, it doesnt work anymore and I cant figure out why.

My PHP is not faulty, no error is returned, and nothing about the code is different than it used to be when it did work (aside from maybe server-side settings). The messages DO get sent to the email server, from both the HTTP server and Outlook. But it gets backed up there. The mail server does not send from the computer out into the internet, and I can access their MIME content from the SMTP server itself.

My firewall is not blocking it, I have already checked.

Nor does it receive emails from external sources, but I think that is a different issue entirely to be dealt with later.

I considered uninstalling MailEnable and getting a newer, better SMTP server. But Im borderline scared to do so, because last time it took forever to get my Apache and PHP and coding settings right-enough to work.

I could use some help with this.

Id also like to set it up to work with Outlook.

I dont know if anyone is familiar with MailEnable, but there doesnt really appear to be any adjustable settings, no real interactive GUI to speak of.

If you have a web hosting company, you should have access to the mail servers that you get with your package.

I have 3 domain names, 1 that is just a URL forwarder and no email, 2 with email facilities, 1 of them requires an email to exist whilst the other does not.

Check with your hosting company.

Failing that, you could try http://roundcube.net/ something I am using.

In no remote way does that help.

If you didnt catch it by reading my post, I have no hope you would read anything I write.

To the rest of the patrons to this site, however, I am trying to be as autonomous as possible. I am not using third party servers or anything. All servers are on my home computer and I am trying to consolidate everything here. I use a domain name for convenience, but I could just as easily use my IP instead for full independence.

I got the Mail Enable to work. I can send again, from both the http server and from Outlook. Yay... it wasnt easy to figure out.

My mail enable program sends emails out like it should and they are being received.

What I suggested would work on a home set up too.
