Unable to receive e-mails anymore
I am standing up my own e-mail server with CentOS 7, postfix and dovecot. I first followed this: https://likegeeks.com/linux-mail-server/. I could send/receive e-mails. Then I completed this: https://www.linode.com/docs/email/po...b-on-centos-7/. I can no longer receive e-mails now.

What do your mail logs say? What did you specifically change? |
It says it was sent. No messages (or bounce messages).
I am not sure if this has to do with the test e-mail that I send or not (say I send it from Yahoo, but I don't see any mention of "yahoo" in the maillog file): Code:
Nov 26 00:49:22 ip-<IP> postfix/pickup[2776]: B721X89VLP6: uid=0 from=<root> |

It actually looks like I am receiving a bounce e-mail now:
The recipient server did not accept our requests to connect. [mydomain.com <IP>: timed out] |
It looks like the whole service is not being exposed. Have you tried connecting from outside through telnet/nc to make sure that the ports/service are available?
Can you show use your postfix configuration exactly (main.cf and master.cf)? You're not giving enough information. Are you sending mail to mail.mydomain.com from yahoo or to mydomain.com? Maybe you don't have the right DNS entries for one or the other. There are quite a few possible scenarios. |
what to do about bounce email ?
