I need assistance with this scenario. I'm sure it's been asked a
hundred times
but I've been unable to find answers that work for my situation. I
want to
send an email from a Linux PC ((E-Mail Removed)) to my ISP account
((E-Mail Removed)).

My Linux server has the following services up and running: DNS, POP3,
Sendmail,
FTP, Telnet, and Apache. I have a Linksys router and I put my Linux
server in
the DMZ so I can reach all the services.

The DNS server is configured as a Caching NameServer as per
instructions I found at
http://www.linuxhomenetworking.com/l...dns-static.htm

>From my Windows XP machine I pointed the Primary DNS server IP adress

to my Linux server (192.168.0.201). I then opened OE and configured it
to send and receive email from inside my LAN. Simple test was to send
a message to myself
(To: (E-Mail Removed)). I received the message without errors. So
the POP3
configuration looks good.

However, when I send a test message (To: (E-Mail Removed)) I receive an
error
immediately saying that OE can't send. Something about the "relay
denied".

That's pretty much it.

Read the documentation of Sendmail about selective relay.

I'm still stumped. I updated my access list to include the IP address
of the client machine I'm trying to send from. That got me from the
"relay denied" error to another.

meaning: if you want to send a mail, you need to use the smtp server
provided by your ISP, otherwise the mail is refused. This is another
anti-spam measure that some ISP uses to cut down (or try to) on SPAM
sent by zombie-pc and possessed machines.

Work through more issue and now I'm getting the following. I guess I
need to have my domain registered to get past this error. If I don't
need to register the domain name. What can I do to make this work?
