[cobalt-users] More on SMTP / Email Queues



OK, I have scanned the archives, and I still can't find an answer. So here
is the problem again, and lets see if there is any new material / ideas on
the subject.

Computer 1 =   my raq 4 (for example has static ip 123.123.123.123 and is on
24 / 7)
Computer 2 =   A.N.Other Machine (Has dynamic IP and is NOT on 24 / 7 )

DNS for domain1.net -> points to my raq 4.


OK, so I setup DNS A record for the website. No problems. but emails need to
be sent to Computer 2 via SMTP when it is online.  So what MX record do I
need, and what commands does Computer 2 need to send once it has connected
to port 25.

I have tried

EHLO example.domain
ETRN mail.example.domain

but I just get a message saying "starting queueing for node
mail.example.domain

Ideas on a postcard ;-)
