   If you want to send emails direct to Email2DB's built-in mail server from outside (IE from the Internet), you need to do a number of things.

1. Assign a public IP address to the Email2DB PC - IE a static internet IP.
2. Register a DNS name to this IP (eg. myemail2bserver.com).
3. Assign an MX record to this IP (eg. mail.myemail2dbserver.com).
4. In the Email2DB main settings - Mail Server tab. Enter 'mail.myemail2dbserver.com' as the host name.
5. In the Email2DB Account settings - SMTP Receive tab enter 'myemail2dbserver.com' in the 'Accept Mail For Domain' setting.
6. Ensure port 25 is open on your router/firewall.

Now - you can send email to someone@myemail2dbserver.com from anywhere in the world.

If you only want to send email to Email2DB internally (IE from your local network PC's) you just send mail to 'someone@{email2dbpc}' where {email2dbpc} is the PC name or IP address of the Email2DB PC. In the Accept Mail For Domain setting enter the PC name or IP address.

	Hi Daniel, Do you have an updated instruction for this? We're using Email2DB Enterprise Version 2.1 Service Pack 1.511. Thank you.

	Hi hphi_IT, All should be the same, other than the Email2DB Main Settings would be the top left circle button -> Mail Server Options. For Email2DB Version 3 go to File -> Mail Server Options.
