[SOLVED] Cannot receive Mail from external Clients

Post by jacques_bronkhorst »

I am running MailEnable Standard Edition (V10). I have configured the server and can send emails successfully to external clients. But Cannot seem to receive anything from external clients.

I checked all my ports on FW, made sure the DNS resolves correctly but I get this warning when using this tool: https://www.mailenable.com/Tools/memaillookup.asp

WARN, No mail server responding on this domain

Anything I am doing wrong?

Hi,

Are you able to telnet to the SMTP on the MailEnable server from an external client machine?

1. From the Windows Start Menu select Start->Run and enter CMD as the application to open. Select OK
2. At the command prompt, enter the following:

telnet mail.example.com 25

If you are unable to establish a connection then most likely port 25 inbound is blocked and you need to create the relevant firewall rules. Check the Windows firewall rules as well on the MailEnable server.
