Hi everyone!
I've been searching the web for two days now and I still haven't got my mail server working. I hope you guys can help me out!
I've got a domain-name (www.sneeuwwebcams.nl) registered at an ISP where i can edit my own DNS settings. Now I want to use my own server (running 10.5 server) for handling my e-mail. My server has a static worldwide IP-address and a DNS A-record hosted with my ISP for this IP-adress (server.jasperbel.nl).
Locally the server is known as miniserver.lokaal.nl
My understanding is that I add an MX-record with sneeuwwebcams.nl to forward mail traffic to server.jasperbel.nl
On my Mac I've enabled the mail service and added users in workgroupmanager to use the mail service. But there a couple of fields i don't know what to insert there:
Server Admin:
Mail -> Settings -> General -> "Domain name"
Mail -> Settings -> General -> "Host name"
Mail -> Settings -> Advanced -> Hosting (do i need to change these tables?)
Workgroup Manager:
User -> Mail -> "Mail Server"
In Dutch we've got an expression "ik zie door de bomen het bos niet meer" wich translates to "I can't see the forest trough the trees" and that's exactly how i feel right now, I don't know whats right or wrong. Hope you guys can help me
Thanks!!!
