Re: How to setup a mail server (POP3 and SMTP) with a dynamic IP

Tech Tip: Click here to run a free scan for Windows Errors and optimize PC performance



What kind of firewall/router are you using? I'm using a LinkSys - you have
to enable port forwarding for ports 25 and 110 to IP address 192.168.1.2 -
also, that IP address must be a static, not dynamic, IP on the WS 2003
machine.

Hi,

After I had setup a mail server with a dynamic IP on my computer installed
Windows Server 2003 R2, Enterprise Edition, I could send and receive email
with this email account, 'ssltony@xxxxxxxxxx' through it only in Intranet.
However, I tried to send email with this email account,
'ssltony@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx' (Dynamic DNS) but I could not receive it. For
your understanding and studying my problem, I listed more information
about
my hardware and software configuration below:

-My server is connected to Internet through my router with DDNS support
-The IP address of Domain Name is updated by a company named Dynamic
DNS
-The Domain name is myname.dyndns.org
-IP address of router: 192.168.1.1

-Only one network adapter is installed on my server
-Its properties are listed below:
-IP address : 192.168.1.2
-Subnet mask: 255.255.255.0
