[clug] Local Mail Howto

[Keith Goggin]

Hi Amitay,

Thanks for your help.

I have now set the SMTP Server address to 10.0.0.1 being the address of 
my mail server and the only general purpose machine on my network at the 
moment. I'm unsure how to check that 10.0.0.1 can accept mail from 
192.168.1.115?

So I have tried setting the following port forwarding on my router:-

*Advanced Settings > NAT > Port Forwarding

*
Mail (SMTP) 	25 	25 	TCP 	25 	25 	10.0.0.1

 
The fields are, server name, external start & end ports, protocol, 
internal start & end ports, server ip address.

But unfortunately I'm still getting the 'Send e-mail error' on the camera.
