I want to build a Windows 2003 E-mail server and use it for establishing
e-mail accounts for my domain using the Pop3/SMTP E-mail service provided
with the OS.
I have a Windows 2003 server, a domain name resolving to the ISP dynamic
address (barely ever changes), and the POP3 service installed on the server.
The internal LAN address is in a DMZ on my router and no software firewall
is enabled. The server functions as a test web server just fine.
I'm a bit stuck on setting up the MX record via register.com and
understanding how to route the e-mail to my private e-mail server
appropriately. When I send an e-mail to user@mydomain.com, i get a smtp
relay failure from my sending ISP (ie: at work). What am I missing? Do I
have the neccesary resources at my disposal to make this work? Do I need to
register my mail server with my ISP's DNS servers, or will register.com's
DNS servers do that for me with the MX record?
I don't want to have to buy an e-mail account for my own domain through
register.com
