Why is my hosted e-mail server's postfix server not working properly?
I have a Debian 7 server set up. It's running Wordpress just fine. It's sending out e-mails just fine using Alpine. I don't know if it's getting e-mails back, although I have no problems gettings email from cron.
Forgive me if I'm posting this in the wrong forum, and because I know it's going to be asked, please give me some time to get therelevant error logs and configuration files.
