in mercury i set my SMTP server to:
Do not permit SMTP relaying of non-local mail


Try going in to the Coniguration menu, to MercuryS SMTP Server, to the Connection Control tab. Click on Add Restriction, and put in 127.0.0.1 in the first box. Leave the second box blank. Make sure the Attributes are to Allow connections, and check the top box (Connections from this address range may relay mail through this server).

That should take care of it.

Ok, spook to soon..

It seems everything works, but i never get mails...

Now if i look at Mercury, everything points out that a mail has been sent,
only in the window of the mercury SMTP Client (end-to-end version)
it gives me this error:

Processing job MO00001A
Temporary error 249 (temporary MX resolution error) resolving 'planet.nl'

Planet.nl is from the adress i try to send mail to.

You know how to solve this too?
You have been a great help so far, many thanx for that,
hope you can guide me a bit further ;)

thanx

That sounds like a problem with Windows, or maybe a problem with the domain records (not likely, though).

To check those settings, do to the Start menu, and click on Run. Type in "cmd" (without the quotes). This should open a DOS windows. Type in "ipconfig /all" (again, without the quotes). This will show you all the network settings for the machine. There should be at least two DNS Servers, towards the bottom. If there's not, you'll need to enter some. If there is, they may need to be changed. Let me know what you get.

I had to learn it the hard way. No point in letting all that sweat go to waste. :)

You're probably using DHCP. In theory, Mercury should be able to pick that up, but apparently not.

You can try entering DNS servers manually in the properties of the network connection*. Ideally, you should use your ISPs, but any should work for testing. Mine are 208.57.67.55 and 208.57.67.52.

*If you don't know how to get to that, go to the Start Menu, and open the Control Panel. If you're in XP, go to Network and Internet Connections. Open Network Connections. There should be an icon for each network interface - probably only one (or maybe two, if you have a modem installed). Right click on that, and open Properties. Double click on Internet Protocol (TCP/IP). There should be a radio button towards the bottom for "Use the following DNS server addresses." Make sure that is selected, and enter both IP addresses. Once you close all the windows, the settings should be in place.

XAMPP Should come with sendmail and it should be located in ...\xampp\sendmail. At least my copy did.

Most boards will look for sendmail to send outgoing mail through and you shouldnt have to use mercury or any other mail service.

You need to set up a primary MX record in your domain's zone file at no-ip.

Looks like this:
Code: Select all
yourdomain.com.   14400     IN   A     111.111.111.111
yourdomain.com.   14400     IN   MX   0   your.servername.com.

The 0 can also be 10 or any other low number.
A secondary MX record would have a higher number than the lowest number for your primary MX record.
So if you use 0 for the primary you would use 10 for your secondary.
It is just to make the primary and secondary distinguishable.

Note the . after yourdomain.com and the . after your.servername.com these are critical and must not be omitted as your zone file will not work else.

You will need to use your.servername.com in Mercury mail as the same as your MX record. Makes sense as your IP will be tied to both.

You may also need an alias for your mail server like this:

Code: Select all
mail   14400   IN   A   111.111.111.111


Subsitute 111.111.111.111 with your own IP.

This will allow you to use mail.yourdomain.com in your e-mail client.
This is optional as you can use just yourdomain.com in your e-mail client as long as you have an MX record with your dns provider.

I use zoneedit.com for my DNS and I can set up my MX records in the supplied zoneedit control panel. I am assuming that no-ip has a control panel also.

That should take care of the DNS finding your instance of Mercury. Now you need help to set up Mercury.

I found this a while back and copy/pasted it to a text file on my PC. Here it is for you if it helps. I don't use Mercury so have no idea if it works. If anyone knows any problems with this tut or can add/improve it please feel free to do so. :)

Edit: There is a very good MurcuryMail Help file in Windows Help format in the xampp/mercurymail directory called mercury.hlp. This is as good as any help manual I have seen for a free product.

Good Luck! :)
