sendmail sending mail...how to receive?
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?

Thanks for helping me get sendmail working. I did everything that was suggested, and the final piece was waiting for DNS to update my domain name to my new IP number. |
