Hello Hans,
well, the xx.xx.xx.xx is the WAN-IP and 192.168.0.1 the LAN-IP of the
Router.

I have try it:

Start Server on 192.168.0.100:25
Start Client on 192.168.0.101:25
Set IdSMTP->Host to 192.168.0.100
(Client & Server on different Machines at your Meaning)
Server&Client connecting and Client send mail - all OK !!


I configure my Router as a virtual SMTP-Server leading incoming Requests on
Port 25 to 192.168.0.100:25

At next i've calling a Friend, he is setting a new Account in his
Outlook-Express at my Instructions, mainly setting SMTP-Server to my
xx.xx.xx.xx WAN-IP and send a Message. There is always a Socket-Error, and
the running Server-Application on my Machine is listening and listening. . .
and so on. It comes no Connection and it doesn't recieve anybody.

Is it possible that the Problem is coming from my Internet-Provider. If the
Server-App not receive any incoming Connections, i think it's a Problem with
my Router (i'm searching a new Firmware for this)

Thanks for Helping and excuse my bad English
