help cofiguring smtp on windows xp

Added by sebastián scarano over 15 years ago

Hi

I'm trying to get redmine to send me emails notifications.

So far now I could not configure a smtp server to relay mails to my gmail account.

I want to configure some local client (thunderbird, for example) and to be able to send mails to using my own smtp server, and then I'll configure redmine to do the same.

I've followed this tutorial:

http://www.ehow.com/how_4489548_set-up-smtp-server-windows.html

and configured thunderbird with localhost as outgoing mail...

I get the following:

in F:\Inetpub\mailroot\Badmail\0029d2423191605200900000001.BAD

Final-Recipient: rfc822;
Action: failed
Status: 5.0.0
Diagnostic-Code: smtp;550-5.7.1 [201.250.95.2] The IP you're using to send mail is not authorized to
550-5.7.1 send email directly to our servers. Please use the SMTP relay at your
550-5.7.1 service provider instead. Learn more at http://mail.google
550 5.7.1 .com/support/bin/answer.py?answer=10336 6si8453947yxg.40

well at http://mail.google.com/support/bin/answer.py?answer=10336

'The IP you're using to send email is not authorized...'
In order to prevent spam, Gmail refuses mail when the sending IP address does not match the sending domain. To send mail from your server to Gmail, we suggest using the SMTP relay provided by your ISP. Please note that we are unable to whitelist IP addresses or otherwise make exceptions at this time.

well, I just want to let redmine send me an email to a gmail account (or whatever account)...

is it possible?

instead of using my own smtp server, I can use google's...
