[ale] Bellsouth DSL and MX

[Mark Angeli]

Yes. Setting up a totally different mx record with the domain pointing to
your server should fix the problem. I think the thing you're experiencing is
that bellsouth only likes blarg at bellsouth.net email accounts accessing their
servers...

Hi all,

I'm trying to setup email for an office equipped with Bellsouth Business
DSL. We have a static ip and hope to host all of our servers in-house.
Email is an essential part of the office's business but I'm having some
issues I need to resolve. I have sendmail running and I can send email out
to the world fine but I can't receive email using any @x.x.x.bellsouth.net
addresses. The error is "Relaying Denied". Understandable. My question
is, eventually a domain will be pointed to this DSL. If I get an MX record
setup through the domain hosting service will that avoid the problem I'm
having with bellsouth since the addresses would be x at mydomain.com? Want to
figure that out before I switch the domains over from the webhosting
provider [that sucks] that we're presently using.

Thanks,

Ben
