Sendmail sending OK, but it never arrives.


Sendmail will send letters OK, but they never show up. I cannot recieve with dovecot either. Everything seems to be OK, but it never works. I can send and recieve from localhost, but nothing outside.
The output of sendmail -v ******** < ****** looks like this:

bendib@rock.com... Connecting to [127.0.0.1] via relay...
220 Beast.localdomain ESMTP Postfix
>>> EHLO geekland.homelinux.org
250-Beast.localdomain
250-PIPELINING
250-SIZE 10240000
250-VRFY
250-ETRN
250-ENHANCEDSTATUSCODES
250-8BITMIME
250 DSN
>>> MAIL From:<ben@geekland.homelinux.org>
250 2.1.0 Ok
>>> RCPT To:<bendib@rock.com>
>>> DATA
250 2.1.5 Ok
354 End data with <CR><LF>.<CR><LF>
>>> .
250 2.0.0 Ok: queued as B2FAB264603
bendib@rock.com... Sent (Ok: queued as B2FAB264603)
Closing connection to [127.0.0.1]
>>> QUIT
221 2.0.0 Bye

The router is listening on 143, 110, and 25, and is forwarding just fine, or my site probably would not be visible.
NOTE: My HTTP site is at geekinsnthings.homelinux.org, the other address visible in the output is for anything else. THis is because geekinsnthings.homelinux.org redirects me to 8080 on my IP.

Any ideas?

Hi,

Are you sure you're running sendmail and not postfix?
Anyway, take a look at /var/log/maillog or whatever file your mail server uses for logging, to see what happens with your mails

Regards

I figured it out. I forgot to set the domain to something other than localhost. Grr. Thanks anyway.
