Alright, this is a bit specific but I think it may help a few people if answered. Heres the situation:
I have a domain name that I bought (call it Toymaker.com) and what I want to do is have my G4 PowerMac get emails directly from the internet sent to user at that domain i.e. me@toymaker.com Then I want people to be able to access my mac like a pop server (or maybe IMAP that seems to be more fitting but I dont know much about that stuff) and download their emails (and no one elses)
I am running the internet to AirPort and Airport to an iMac then the iMac to a router (over ethernet) and from there into my G4 (where the work is to be done)
This is what I think I should have to do let me know where I am wrong.
=>I think I am just going to tell the router that my G4 should be in the =>DMZ and I should tell the AirPort the same thing (right??) that way the =>internet can access it directly.
=>Then I think I need to tell someone (a DNS or ICANN maybe?!?! who??) =>what the ip address is of my G4. (this should be the same as the ip =>address given from my ISP because the G4 would be in a DMZ is that =>right??) That way The emails go straght from the world directly to my =>G4 instead of through my ISP ( so direct email instead of having it =>forwarded)
=>Then I am going to need some sort of software to handle the email
=>from the internet and handle users connecting and downloading it.
The end result should be that I will tell users to set up their mail program to say:
Out Going mailserver? smtp.toymaker.com
Incomming Mailserver? mail.toymaker.com
It would also be nice to beable to have SSL active in the process.
Ok, that should be all I think. Let me know if I missed something Thanks A bunch!!
