Postfix OUT OK - IN KO

[garrop]

Hi to everyone,

 

I am trying to run my own mail server. Installed postfix with 10.1. Outbound emails work fine after I tunned the main.cf file. However, when I reply to my emails, this is what I get:

I have opened the ports on my router and redirected them to my PC. My ISP claims they have not closed either 25 or 110.

 

I have checked the postfix documetnation, but I have been unable to find any similar problems there. Can anybody help me?

 

Many thanks.

Check your firewall allows the ports.

Check your config file and make sure the MTA is listening to your IP address and not just your local address (127.0.0.1)

Sorry to ask again. I have checked my firewall and all ports are open.

 

The problem must be in the conf file. In fact, I can not send email to local users. Although emails to outside peolple goes through ok, when sending email to local users all email stays on the mail queue I see with webmin.

 

On the other hand, when sending mails from the outside, the sender gets the error:

I have configured the main.cf according to postfix.org, but I must have something wrong there. Any help would be extremely appreciated, for I have spent the whole evening trying to figure this out.

maybe you can try to add this to your main.cf

inet_interfaces = 192.168.1.1 127.0.0.1

#note: 192.168.1.1 - this should be ur local IP, so change this to whatever ur local IP and of course 127 is ur loopback

mynetworks_style = host

mynetworks = 127.0.0.0/8 192.168.1.0/24 xxx.xxx.xxx.0/24

# xxx.xxx.xxx.0/24 assumes to be ur isp network

Thanks for your help. main.cf included the info you are suggesting.

 

In the meantime, I found where the main problem was: A typo in the MX redirection at zoneedti.com (I have dynamic IP)

 

Now the emails arrive ok, but they are not delivered to the local user. They instead are queued within the macine (I can see them at webmin / postfix / queue)

 

So my big question is: why local email does not work. I include about what is going on:
