Problem with MyHouse and Email

[sstormes]

Guys,

I have tried all ways, Auto, SMTP, and X10 gateway, and I can't get an email out. I have configured all users in MyHouse, and set up the macro correctly, but nothing is sent out. My logs say that the macro sent the email, but I never get it. I have tried sending to my cellphone (xxxxxxxxxx@cingularme.com) set up a forward email with my external email server (xxxx@domain.com -> xxx@cingularme.com) every possible combo, nothing. I even went as far as setting up a span port on my switch and connected an ethereal box to sniff traffic. My AHP is not sending out an email. Anyone have any advice for me?

Thanks!

You know what...after looking more into my workstation configuration (and paying closer attention to my packet capture) I noticed that my DNS lookups to my MX records, were looking up at a private IP range. Specifically a private IP range at my office. I didn't see any email communication with my packet capture because I wasn't connected to my office VPN, which is where my DNS server was pointed. I didn't see it originally because it had been configured as a tercerary (sp) DNS server. I caught that from my packet capture once I realized the record said

Standard query MX 192.168.1.241

But did not get a response.

Gotta love ethereal!

Me too having the same problem. I am not able to send email invites from MyHouse. I have tried both options (SMTP & X10 Portal). When I send an email, I do however get the message box saying "Email Sent", but nothing actually happens.

I found nothing about X10 on the BBB site through your link and it provides no search function for X10 problems.

This is most likely to what he was referring. It took me a while to find it.

I had to click on "Business" under "CHECK IT OUT:" in the upper left and enter X10.

Thanks.

I did check out the links provided, and all the complaints about X10 USA in any form anywhere are 7 to 8 years in the past (1999 and 2000), nothing later. In all the complaints in every case, the remark is "This company is not a BBB member" is found.  The BBB only has power over member companies that violate BBB practices.
