I have a funny issue. I managed to install postfix, DSPAM, RoundCube. I can use my Mail.app on my MacBook to setup an IMAP mailbox and sync messages on my MacMiniServer. I can send messages using RoundCube but somehow I can not receive email messages coming from outside my network or other domains. I mean, if I send an email using RoundCube and email myemail@mydomain.net to myotheremail@mydomain.net, everything works perfectly.
But if I send an email from myworkemail@workdomain.com to myemail@mydomain.net... It doesn't work. The email never reaches my mydomain.net mailbox. I get:
The destination server for this recipient could not be found in the Domain Name System (DNS).
The email is correct, the DNS entries were not changed. What I did was only change the 192.168.1.x IP of the machine on the router. I used to run LinuxBox for my web/mail server on one IP, now it's a MacMini on another IP.
I googled and can't seem to get a right answer to this.
Any ideas, fellas?
Marko, sorry for the late reply. There are several possibilities that might cause this problem.
Firewall, router, modem or ISP have incoming traffic blocked. Find out by telnetting to port 25 on your computer from somewhere else outside your network.
In /etc/postfix/main.cf there is the line inet_interfaces = localhost which will block incoming emails.
Also you might check your /var/log/mail.log file if you see any incoming connections.

I had to 'completely' open port 25 and I started receiving messages :/ I had it pen only to my local subnet.
Thanx
