Create ADSL Mail Server

2014/07/09 11:50

We use ADSL dial-up networking to create mail server (without a fixed IP address), how can we create Internet mail server?

Condition 1: Internet domain name.

Condition 2: The server does not have a fixed Internet IP address.

If your server is connected to the Internet via ADSL, you can also create a mail server. Because the dynamic IP address always changes, you need to install dynamic domain software, no matter how the IP changes, it will always bind your domain name with your server together.

Currently, many domain name service providers offer both standard and dynamic domain name services, such as PeanutHull (http://www.oray.net) and XiWang network (http://www.3322.org) etc. You can contact the domain name service provider to apply your top-level standard domain name, such as "ourcompany.com", or apply DDNS, such as "mydomain.vicp.net" or "mydomain.3322.net" etc.

How to bind ADSL domain name? If your domain name is a free dynamic one, the installation and configuration processes are as follows.

Suppose your domain name service provider is PeanutHull, login the management webpage.

1) Apply for a free domain name, suppose it is "mydomain.vicp.net".

2) Download the PeanutHull client software, and then install it on your server. After running PeanutHull, add the "mydomain.vicp.net" Dynamic Domain Name Service.

3) Installed AAMail. For details, please refer to "Install AAMail Server".

4) If your server is connected after firewall and router, please pay attention to open port 25/110 in firewall, and map port 25/110 in router. For details, please refer to "Firewall and Router".

5) Create a mail domain in AAMail, such as "mydomain.vicp.net". And select "Standard server mode."

6) Create accounts for everyone in AAMail. For details, please refer to "Create Mail Account".

7) If you want to use mail client to send and receive mails, such as Outlook, please refer to "Mail Client".

8) If you want to use Webmail to send and receive mails, please refer to "Webmail".

If your domain name is the top standard one, the installation and configuration processes are as follows.

Suppose your top-level domain name is "ourcompany.com", and your domain name service provider is PeanutHull.

1) Apply for a free domain name, such as "mydomain.vicp.net".

2) Create a new MX record under the domain name of "ourcompany.com", and set it as "mydomain.vicp.net".

3) Download the PeanutHull client software, and then install it on your server. After running PeanutHull, add the "mydomain.vicp.net" Dynamic Domain Name Service.

4) Installed AAMail. For details, please refer to "Install AAMail Server".

5) If your server is connected after firewall and router, please pay attention to open port 25/110 in firewall, and map port 25/110 in router. For details, please refer to "Firewall and Router".

6) Create a mail domain in AAMail, such as "mydomain.vicp.net". And select "Standard server mode."

Because ADSL connection is a dynamic IP address server, and many overseas or domestic mail servers will directly regard the mails which are sent from the dynamic IP addresses as spams. Therefore, if you are using ADSL mail server, normailly, we'd like to recommend that you use map mail server mode. For details, please refer to "Map Mail Server".
