Not sure how many IPs you have or if they're static, but both mail.gc-site.hopto.org and gc-site.hopto.org both point to the same IP so you probably have 1 external IP. Things to check... -Is sendmail listening on your LAN/external IP (i.e. not just 127.0.0.1). It doesnt by default AFAIK - check with "netstat -an | grep LISTEN" -Are all firewalls/routers setup to allow inbound access to you mail server on tcp/25 (including any port forwarding). I did a quick check and couldnt access it - check your firewall logs. -If you DONT have static IPs then make sure you have a program to update no-ip.com's DNS (I use ddclient). Ive also checked DNS and MX records for your domain and they seem OK to me (Sorry Jason =P).... ; <<>> DiG 9.2.2-P3 <<>> mx gc-site.hopto.org ;; global options: printcmd ;; Got answer: ;; ->>HEADER<<- opcode: QUERY, status: NOERROR, id: 2521 ;; flags: qr rd ra; QUERY: 1, ANSWER: 2, AUTHORITY: 0, ADDITIONAL: 2 ;; QUESTION SECTION: ;gc-site.hopto.org.
