Emails not working [URGENT]

[AusHell]

Hey guys,


I am having huge problems with getting the emails on the server working.. i followed the "pefect install" for cent os 5.1

i have added the account to outlook, i can email send an email from that account through outlook and it will send.. but i cant recieve anything.. its almost like the mailbox isn't working :S

I have read through many posts and still have no idea what is causing the problem..

I have also been looking through logs.. i thought it could be a DNS issue.. but it cant be, as i have solved the hostname and domain name issues...

Here a snippet from the /var/log/maillog

PLEASE NOTE: XXX.XXX.XXX.XXX my servers ip. (i have masked it purposely)

Please let me know what you think the problem is?..

Please post the content of /etc/postfix/main.cf, but please without comments (lines starting with #).

In my conf I got the following line:

tls_random_source = dev:/dev/urandom

In your case this should look similar to the following and maybe causing the error:

tls_random_source = dev:/dev/urandomhome_mailbox

Maybe its also mixed up with the followign line that in my main.cf contains the home_mailbox containing "Maildir/" that is also mentioned in your errormessage, so maybe just a newline is missing?

tls_random_source = dev:/dev/urandom
home_mailbox = Maildir/

In your config at line ---> tls_random_source = dev:/dev/urandomhome_mailbox = Maildir/

thats the problem : there are 2 lines in one try to split it :
tls_random_source = dev:/dev/urandom
home_mailbox = Maildir/

hm?

Sorry for the delayed reply i have been busy.

That fixed a part of the error but i am still getting a reply email error saying this.

<test@protectyourkids.net>:
203.201.149.70 does not like recipient.
Remote host said: 554 5.7.1 <test@protectyourkids.net>: Relay access denied Giving up on 203.201.149.70.

We can send out from problem server but cannot receive. When we send from a working account to an email on this new server we get error 554 relay access denied.
