thanks Peter (we're almost done), Tobias, and everyone else!

i have mail Services running on OS X Server 10.2.5, behind a small home network: Cable modem, LinkSys router, Macs. using DynDNS.org.

i do NOT run DNS and i have what is called a "persistent" IP (dynamic, but it doesn't change for 6 months USUALLY!)

the trick seemed to be to use my internal IP for everything,

in the SMTP Options (both lines) i do NOT have 192.168.xxx.xxx, but instead, e.g., "myhost.dyndns.org".

p.s. again, really sorry for MORE double posts! i will wait now until i make sure it's not happening!


including in my email program as POP and SMTP.
also, NOT, as Tobias said early on, to use the MX line at DynDNS, but to use my own MX record -which afaik there is no way to turn off anyway, for now i am using the "MX-List Only" selection in the Mail Services admin GUI. i also have the internal IP in the Workgroup Manager for the Users "Mail Server".

cool, any suggestion on turning on other features, from the Admin GUI, that help me batten done as many "hatches" as i can (in this situation).

thanks.

ted
