SMTP listener:
IP: "blank" IP: I prefer to put the actual IP I want it to listen on but this should work. If your IP is a translated Private IP, put that private IP in.
port: 25 FQDN: 80.196.52.171 FQDN means fully qualified domain name so should be something like mail.mydomain.com ... NOT an IP Address
Destination server: ip: 127.0.0.1 ip should really be the "listener ip" of the destination server but this will work if the destination responds to it
port 26 Entered 3 dns-server's ip entered in whitelist: adweb.dk:80.196.52.171:26 Change this line to adweb.dk
Let the destination server information serve as the default.
Try telnetting into your destination server with port 26. If it responds then make sure the destination server is not refusing traffic from "itself".

SMTP listener:
IP: "blank" IP: I prefer to put the actual IP I want it to listen on but this should work. If your IP is a translated Private IP, put that private IP in.
now: 80.196.52.171 port: 25
FQDN: 80.196.52.171 now
FQDN: mail.adweb.dk
FQDN means fully qualified domain name so should be something like mail.mydomain.com ... NOT an IP Address
Destination server: ip: 127.0.0.1 now: 80.196.52.171
ip should really be the "listener ip" of the destination server but this will work if the destination responds to it
port 26 Entered 3 dns-server's ip entered in whitelist: adweb.dk:80.196.52.171:26 now adweb.dk
Change this line to adweb.dk
Let the destination server information serve as the default.
Try telnetting into your destination server with port 26. If it responds then make sure the destination server is not refusing traffic from "itself".
It is possible to telnet:
80.196.52.171:25
80.196.52.171:26
127.0.0.1:26
The destinationserver allows relaying from
80.196.52.171
127.0.0.1
and other locals.
But no mails coming through....
I can't even see anything in the activity-log,
but I can see that several servers made attempts in the statistics-menu.
So it has to be from the Spamfilter to the mailserver.
In Denmark the server is on a internetconnection, where the provider, only allow smtp-traffic to go through their server. It's the national phone-company - - So to send mail from the spamfilter to the mailserver, i believe that i have to use a local ip, like 127.0.0.1 but that doesn't work either.
Any good suggestions?? I'm kind of desparate at the moment.....

Can you please provide the "Welcome Banner" that you receive in all three cases when telnetting to: 80.196.52.171:25
80.196.52.171:26
127.0.0.1:26

You have spamfilter listening on port 25, but your email server needs to be listening on port 26 to receive the emails spamfilter is sending it. Simply putting x.x.x.x:26 won't work, the server must be listening on port 26 for SMTP.
I prefer to have spamfilter listen on 26 (my firewall forwards all port 25 traffic to mymailserverIP:26 where spamfilter intercepts it, does its thing and then forwards it to port 25 on my mail server)
What mail server are you running? You need to tell it to listen on port 26.

Both service and standalone version of SpamFilter use the same
configuration files, and will thus work the same. If you are having one
work and the other not, it's very possible that youmay have IP-port
conflicts with other applications (your SMTP server). Please note that
only one application can listen on a certain port (ex. 25) on a
specific IP. If multiple apps are configured to use the same
combination IP:port, only the one that starts and "grabs" the IP 1st
will be able to use it.
