I'm trying to set up a personal mail server using Kerio (just for fun). I've managed to set up Kerio to send & receive mail, forwarded the correct ports on my firewall, changed the MX records etc but I'm having problems with one area.

I want to be able to type in mail.mydomain.co.uk on any PC and have it take me to the webmail login screen. At the moment this only works within my home network if I type in the local IP address of the Server (192.168.0.xx:3000)

It's driving me mad. Can anyone advise? I'm running Server 2003, IIS6 and Kerio MailServer v6

Thanks in Advance.

I have done exactly that by creating a virtual directory in IIS answering to "mail.mybomain.com"
In the directory I have a index.htm containing:
#HTML>
#HEAD>
#META HTTP-EQUIV=Refresh CONTENT="2; URL=http://mydomain.com:8000/">
#/HEAD>
#BODY>
#a href="http://mydomain.com:8000/">Click here if not redirected
#/BODY>
#/HTML>

That works for me...

I've changed all leading "<" to "#", otherwise they are displayed as HTML...

The MX records need to be on internet DNS servers, not just your local LAN.

Disregard if you've already done this, but you didn't5 mention it.
