Have installed postfix

If I'm not missing something, postfix is a daemon for SMTP only (mail transfer agent - MTA).
From the mail client's point of view, postfix is able to handle sending mails.
It will also receive mails from external systems and store it somewhere (/var/spool/mail).

If you want to read mails that you expect someone has sent to the mail server running postfix, you additionally need a POP3 or IMAP daemon.
This is where your mail client logs in when it is receiving mail.

Afaik there is no "integrated" POP3 or IMAP module/addon for postfix.
For a small environment you might use popa3d (simply works, no configuration needed). If you like fiddling around, try Courier IMAP ;-)

So want to be able to send and recieve emails using postfix.

have asked the people i bought the domain name off did they set the MX records and they said that

" Your domain (MX mail records) mail.namit.org is already pointed to
193.120.94.29."

I have setup outgoing emails to be mail.esat.net because they are my ISPs and they have open smtp server but not sure if i am ment to have this setup.

Any chance someone can talk a look at my config file and even tell me where i am going wrong with the incoming mail setup?
