Hello

I am a networking student. for experiance Iam tryoing to set up a basic mail
server . I have a copy of server 2003 in my text book. and I have purchased
a domain name.
I have added the services requierd to and have set up mail boxes. as well i
have set up mx records a records and dns on my network. I have access to the
server through my fire wall. checked with id serve and telnet.
IDserve shows the server ready. I have to use dyndns as i don't have a
static ip adress but as i said i can see the server from out side my
network. I have to use port 52525 for incoming mail connections. as per
dyndns.
mail relay. I can get to the server with telenet i can use my
user name +OK but PASS shows log in failure. I have checked and rechecked
pass word and user id but no joy.
I have looked at the vertual SMTP server and no joy. I have managed to get
mail to the server. I see it in the mail boxes. But cannot retrive the mail.
I need . I have removed the server roles from the server, and deleted
the mail boxes and whant to start fresh with some good direction on what to
do some advice or a web page. If some could i would be greatfull. my
head is starting to hurt from banging it on the wall.

Any would be great
