I'm using EIMS behind an AirPort with port mapping on public Port 25 to private Port 25 on 10.0.1.201, the EIMS machine. EIMS is set to only relay for local domains. Nothing about this particular message appears in EIMS's logs. I started using EIMS instead of AddMail after acquiring the AirPort as it shows more detail of the SMTP handshaking. As I mentioned, along with the AirPort came reduced reliability. The following block is typical. I've heard talk of unacknowledged problems with AirPort port mapping. Open Transport 2.5.1f1 Default domain: Looking up server name... Remembered name: pinza.demon.co.uk Server name is pinza.demon.co.uk SMTP & POP3 ready Server ready to go.
