Will there be a step by step for setting this up? I am leaving the company soon and my replacement will need all the help she can get.
Docs are being maintained at http://support.easydns.com/outbound_smtp.php
I follow the instructions, yet it never enables, nor remembers my e-mail password. Is it live yet?
Hi there,
If you could please let me know what your easyDNS user ID is and the domain you want to test, I can then enable the outbound smtp for your account. sandy
My ISP blocks the use of SMTP servers other than their own. It would be BOSS if easySMTP offered an alternate port (from 25) so that I could use it.
hi there,
Currently, we have made available: Available ports (TLS optional): 25, 465 (SSL), 587, 2025, 2026, 20025, 20026 for our Outbound SMTP service. thanks, sandy
Ok, as I understand it. I will upgrade my account to DNS-plus and then I can relay outgoing mail on a high port through the easydns mail servers.
There's a restriction of 200 messages a day and 10M maximum message size. That seems perfect for my needs. However, I have a couple domains on my server. My inbound mail on port 25 accepts mail for both. How does this service deal with multiple domains from the same server? - will I have to upgrade all my domains to have DNS-plus coverage. - or will I be able to route all my outgoing mail with a blanket 200 message limit. - or if my friend and I upgrade both domains to DNS-plus, will I have a generic 400 message limit? - or will I have to route outgoing mail with separate authentication for each domain. - is there a way to check or monitor what the current daily outgoing message count is? perhaps something similar to the dynamic dns tools? perhaps a simple cgi query that returns "domain:msgcount". That way I can compare it with my own mail server logs and be aware of any mail funny-business. I assume any and all outgoing mail, including spam bounces are counted. Thanks in advance, Patrick W.
Hi Patrick, you just have to upgrade one domain, and then you can send mail from all of your domains via the one outbound account (it doesn't care what the "From" header says).
Once you activate the domain for outbound, you'll see that module then starts keeping a running count on your usage through the day, updated hourly.
wow easyDNS you guys just keep on delivering.
keep it up, best Registrar/DNS out there.
I am running Exchange 2003 and trying to set up SMTP outgoing through easydns. Is there a doc for this? I have succesfully set up Outlook Express from behind my firewall so I know those setting are correct. I would be willing to do any beta testing for this.
I read through all the info I could find, but I'm still stuck. This is an ideal solution for us to route notification emails from our monitoring system so in case our email server goes down but the outside network is still up the monitoring service can send email to a cell phone.
What I need is a command line (Windows Server 2003) way to send email using your server. I have scripts to do so with an "internal" server, but none of those require authentication. Also, is the current IP address of mailout.easydns.com an address I can reasonably count on? When I ask to open port 25 to the outside world I want to restrict it. Is there an example of setting up an email program to use this feature? Richard
Yay. I finally got my qmail mail server to properly authenticate with easydns and then send my outgoing mail. Here's my adventure to get this working...
I originally started with this toaster.. http://www.shupp.org/toaster, but this patch is almost a year old and it incorporates an older smtp auth patch from http://www.fehcom.de/qmail/smtpauth.html The older patch only deals with incoming connections and didn't authenticate outgoing connections. I almost reproduced the toaster with a more current smtpauth patch but then I came across http://www.mcmilk.de/qmail/" Tino Reichardt has a very good quality qmail patch bundle. You apply it against the original qmail-1.03 from djb. He's also authored some of the patches. Actually, this is his personal collection of patches and patch building system. Anyways his qmail system is described http://www.mcmilk.de/qmail/dl/patches/docs So my "/var/qmail/smtprelays" contains :mailout.easydns.com|my_domain|my_password| and my "/var/qmail/smtproutes" contains :mailout.easydns.com:2025 TADA, outgoing mail suddenly just works. Actually, I can now route and authenticate on any port to multiple email gateways based on wildcards. That includes the ISP that originally blocked all outgoing port 25 mail on its entire network. Now I have to figure out how to avoid sending bounce messages through the easydns gateway. But everything works again!! |
