Debian Squeeze Postfix / Dovecot. No Mails Arrive Assistance.
Hello there!
I am starting this new thread as per chrism01 suggestion. There is another very identical thread where I first posted my comment but it is two years old so..
I run Debian (6.0) squeeze, postfix / dovecot. It sends absoluttely anything anywhere OK but I am unable to receive mails from outside. That is I receive my own messages sent from me to me but it never arrives if sent from any other let's say e-mail accounts.
Any help / suggestion / advices at all would be highly appreciated. Many thanks!
I have solved it myself. Sometimes reading a few dozens of extra pages of documentation works better. :-)

Appreciare your links and try but my post says at the end that I fixed the issue myself. Reading a few dozens of extra pages of documentation sometimes works better.

That's right Ztcorecat. It's nice to have it working. There were 3 issues that gave me headache. Two of them were mine in procmail filtering and networking if you are interested to thow but the third one belonged to my ISP! Mine are fixed all right but have to learn to live with ISP's though. There are only two ISPs where I reside and the second one is even worse than the one I am on so... there is nothing much I can do about it.. VSAT (satellite internet) is always an option but I am not a millionaire.. yet :-) to pay for that.
