help with main.cf
 
Hello guys,

can you please review my main.cf and see that there are some changes to be made.

The problem is that I want to setup my own mailserver, this seems to work, its set up but....

When I send a mail to my account at work I do receive it but when I do a reply on that mail it never comes on to my mailserver, then after a day the postmaster of my emailserver at work sends al warning mail that my reply is delayed...

sending internal mails seems to work also just like sending to the outside world... also seems my port 25 blokt...

here is the main.cf file I use

# QUEUE DIR ( where incoming mail is q't)
queue_directory = /var/spool/postfix

# PROGRAM DIR ( program bins are set )
program_directory = /usr/libexec/postfix

# COMMAND DIR ( location of postfix commands )
command_directory = /usr/sbin

# DAEMON DIR ( location of all daemon programs )
daemon_directory = /usr/libexec/postfix

# QUEUE AND PROCESS OWNERSHIP ( Specify the name of a user
# account THAT DOES NOT SHARE A GROUP WITH OTHER ACCOUNTS AND THAT
# OWNS NO OTHER FILES OR PROCESSES ON THE SYSTEM )
mail_owner = postfix

# DEFAULT PRIV PARAMETERS ( DO NOT SPECIFY A PRIVILEGED USER OR THE POSTFIX OWNER)
default_privs = nobody

# INTERNET HOST AND DOMAIN NAMES ( Fully Qualified Domain Name (FQDN) for you machine.)
myhostname = rabbit.homelinux.org
#myhostname = virtual.domain.name
mydomain = homelinux.org

# SENDING MAIL ( Specifies the domain that post are coming from? )
myorigin = $myhostname
#myorigin = $mydomain

# RECEIVING MAIL ( Where postfix listens on )
inet_interfaces = all
mydestination = $myhostname, localhost.$mydomain ;$mydomain

# INTERNET VERSUS INTRANET

#relayhost = $mydomain
#relayhost = gateway.my.domain
#relayhost = uucphost
#relayhost = [mail.$mydomain:9999]

# DEFAULT TRANSPORT
default_transport = smtp

# ADDRESS REWRITING
alias_maps = hash:/etc/postfix/aliases
alias_database = hash:/etc/postfix/aliases

# DELIVERED-TO
# prepend_delivered_header = command, file, forward
# prepend_delivered_header = forward

# ADDRESS EXTENSIONS (e.g., user+foo)
# recipient_delimiter = +

# DELIVERY TO MAILBOX
#home_mailbox = Mailbox
#home_mailbox = Maildir/
# mail_spool_directory = /var/mail
mail_spool_directory = /var/spool/mail
mailbox_command = /usr/bin/procmail
mailbox_transport = cyrus
#fallback_transport =

# RELAY DOMAINS
#relay_domains = $mydestination, $virtual_maps
#relay_domains = $mydestination, /etc/postfix/relay-domains

#In this example the domains you want to relay for would be placed in the file /etc/postfix/relay-domains. One to a line like so:
# here.com
# mail.here.com
# there.org
# mail.there.org

# SHOW SOFTWARE VERSION OR NOT
#smtpd_banner = $myhostname ESMTP $mail_name
#smtpd_banner = $myhostname ESMTP $mail_name ($mail_version)

# PARALLEL DELIVERY TO THE SAME DESTINATION

default_destination_concurrency_limit = 10

# DEBUGING CONTROL ( Debug level )

<dns_nag> How about doing a 'dig -t MX your.domain' and make sure that your mail server actually shows up.

If that's configured correctly then the next step would be to look in the postfix mail logs and see why mail is being rejected.

The problem is still the same, when I send mail from outside the mailsever ( for example my mailaccount at work ) my mailserver rejects it, also get warning message that mail is delayed...

When I send to users that have access on the same machine where the mailserver is running the message seems to come to their place.

My iptables are accepting on port 25.

Also here is my main.cf again, its a little changed
