I think we have similar network setups. I have a mac on a router behind DSL modem. The router is set to listen to port 25. I have sendmail working, but I haven't yet set my website's MX record to point to my static ip address, so I can send mail from my mac, but I can't reply back to it (actually, my MX records are still pointing to my ISP's mail server, so I can get mail, just not through my server). My first question, then, are your MX records pointing to your static ip?

I've been using sendmail for both incoming and outgoing email for months now. |
