Q: Just updated from ML to El Capitan, can not send e-mail outside my home network

Mar 25, 2016 11:13 AMby einarso,Just a follow up.... I can use the smpt server with some connections outside of my network. I was at another wireless network and it worked fine. I then tried my wifes mobile connection - and it worked! (OneCall). So right now - I still have the problem when connecting my devices via the largest mobile-network company in Norway - Telenor.
This was not a with my previous ML server setup. Can this be a problem with the DNS setup somehow?

The chances are this is a configuration issue, in which case I'd expect to see the connection logged with an error message indicating why the email was rejected. For remote users you'll usually need to have authentication turned on (to make sure that just anyone isn't sending mail through your server), but that should be clear from the logs.

I have previously explained that I can connect to the smtp server from some networks and not others. I can connect from 2 of the 3 home networks I have tested (over wifi). At one of those I was not able to connect. I can connect through my wife's cellular network (OneCall), but not mine (Telenor).
