For other problem, I think you will need a machine with valid name, which should have forward and reverse DNS entries.
+1. I wanted to jump in when Rony mentioned there is no domain name for this client.
@Rony, you need a valid domain name on the 'Net and a sub-domain served by an internal DNS server that resolves A and PTR records.
I generally do this as "intra.example.com" for the internal LAN sub domain.
The customer has his own website and it is also enabled with POP/SMTP. Since that smtp needs to be authenticated with the email_id as username and a password, I thought of using that as credentials to relay messages to that server to then forward them to the world. Do I still need a domain setting? How does Thunderbird or Outlook Express forward mails from machines with only a hostname?
