OT: Server Problems due to move

Fri May 7 20:04:37 UTC 2021

Hi,

This may be you active intention and desire but my forwarding 110 (pop3) 
and 143 (imap4) you have opened up your secured email server to email 
clients anywhere on the internet to connect to the server and download 
email from inboxes.  To receive email to your mail server you only need 
port 25 (smtp).  Port 443 (https) and 80 (http) are only needed for 
remote clients on the internet to access web pages on the  server.

Also note that you have not enabled the secure ports for authentication 
/ receiving 993 (imaps) or 995 (pop3s) so passwords will be sent 
unencrypted.  There is secure smtp for sending email to you inbound on 
465 (smtps) - is this your intention because as it stands you have 
effectively blocked all the security encryption to protect email content 
and passwords.

Does you email server host any mailboxes that need to be accessed by 
remote email clients, or, does your email server only send email to 
remote email servers?

You need to list out what you want to achieve:

Mail Server

     Send email

     Receive email

Email Clients

     Local clients

     Remote clients

HTTP(S) Clients

     Local clients

     Remote clients

I am not remotely confident from your email that you have solved the 
problem that you original described - "email server cant receive email" 
as forwarding port 25 inbound would achieve that.

Kind Regards

Ben Butler

I recommend MacStadium (https://www.macstadium.com <https://www.macstadium.com/> <https://www.macstadium.com/ <https://www.macstadium.com/>>) where we have a couple dozen minis. We've used their hosting services for close to 10 years.

>> $54/month with get you enterprise-level redundant power and gigabit networking, plus 24/7 monitoring from on-site staff. You own the mini and have full remote access. Their support team is excellent, too. I don't know how deep they'll get with specific issues, but with any kind of networking woes they'll be happy to jump in and assist you.

>> Orlando means thunderstorms (and occasionally hurricanes) and moving your mini to MacStadium will ensure your clients and email aren't knocked out when mother nature comes calling. Their primary data center is in Atlanta and you'd get great response times from central Florida. Contact their sale team to learn more, and if you order, you just ship them the mini and they'll take care of configuring the networking and racking it for you.

>> For your local hosting, as others have said, it's likely an ISP/DNS issue. If you check https://www.ipify.org <https://www.ipify.org/><https://www.ipify.org/ <https://www.ipify.org/>> from the mini is your pubic IP 142.197.254.173? Check the same site from another device on your network and see if you get the same IP. If you do, then 142.197.254.173 is likely the WAN (public) side of your router, and the router is using NAT to share that IP amongst all devices. You'd need to setup port forwarding on your router to map specific ports (like 25, 80, and 443) to your mini's internal IP.
>>
>> Of course...if your mail server isn't receiving incoming email, I'm not sure how you'll get these responses from the list. :)

I simply unplugged, moved to Orlando, and plugged back in, made sure the No IP updater updated for sure, I dont think I should have to do anything else except make sure port 25 is open and as I said I think it is, turn on port forwarding and I think I have done that for 25
