fdsa Posted March 26, 2021 Share Posted March 26, 2021 I guess it will be usable for internal (within the office) mail only. Major email providers will treat your mails as spam because they do not have a domain name and come from a home network provider instead of datacenter IP range. Also you will not get a signed SSL certificate for IP address - you have to use a domain for that. And which "MX record" you plan to modify if there is no domain name? 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gamb00ler Posted April 1, 2021 Share Posted April 1, 2021 (edited) If you only want a local LAN based chat application there are many choices including free ones. BeepBeep, Squiggle, Tonic and LAN Messenger are free. Several others are very cheap as well. Google search for "local LAN messenger".

tgw Posted April 1, 2021 Share Posted April 1, 2021 Quote I don't want ,,, - M$ Exchange - Anything Linux lol this severely limits your options. I don't know if you consider unix-like systems to be in the linux family, such as MacOS or BSD-derivatives? Anyway, this page lists a few possible solutions for running an email server on Windows 10: https://windowsreport.com/free-mail-server-windows-10/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GrandPapillon Posted April 2, 2021 Share Posted April 2, 2021 Your external IP which will be used as the sender IP authentication for other emails servers, means your email will not get through or delivered since most dynamic IPs used by the ISP are blocked by Anti-SPAM block servers and if they are not in the list, most likely Gmail, Yahoo, Outlook.com etc... will mark your email as SPAM if they fail certain verification tests (SPF, DKIM, DMARC etc...) You can use Synology built-in mail servers if you have one on your LAN, it has SMTP and IMAP, but that doesn't fix your external IP issue Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
