I have been reading and Im having problems finding out why Im not receiving email. I can send without problems, telnet to port 25, but no luck when receiving.
Can you please help point me into the right direction?
darth thanks for the reply but on a whim I decided to try to send mail to username@localhost.domain.com and it worked... I think I just need some changes in my postfix config file now.
ryedunn, you asked for help and then didn't answer my question. For people to help you, you need to state *exactly* what you are trying to do.
You don't receive mail on port 25. That is the port to send mail. If you recieve mail using the pop3 protocol that is on port 110. You might check out fetchmail.
