Default ispconfig postconf sasl smtpd mail not working
Hi I followed Falko's "Fedora 8 Server Setup: LAMP, Email, DNS, FTP, ISPConfig"

My mail is not working. I have my own DNS server and I do have my host record set as A as well as MX. here is my iptables since it doesn't have the port open but I am really confused because ispconfig shows that my servers are running.

Code:
:INPUT ACCEPT [0:0]
:FORWARD ACCEPT [0:0]
:OUTPUT ACCEPT [0:0]
:RH-Firewall-1-INPUT - [0:0]
-A INPUT -j RH-Firewall-1-INPUT
-A RH-Firewall-1-INPUT -i lo -j ACCEPT
-A RH-Firewall-1-INPUT -p icmp --icmp-type any -j ACCEPT
-A RH-Firewall-1-INPUT -m state --state ESTABLISHED,RELATED -j ACCEPT
-A RH-Firewall-1-INPUT -m state --state NEW -m tcp -p tcp --dport 22 -j ACCEPT
-A RH-Firewall-1-INPUT -m state --state NEW -m tcp -p tcp --dport 110 -j ACCEPT
-A RH-Firewall-1-INPUT -m state --state NEW -m tcp -p tcp --dport 80 -j ACCEPT
-A RH-Firewall-1-INPUT -m state --state NEW -m tcp -p tcp --dport 81 -j ACCEPT
-A RH-Firewall-1-INPUT -m state --state NEW -m tcp -p tcp --dport 21 -j ACCEPT
-A RH-Firewall-1-INPUT -m state --state NEW -m tcp -p tcp --dport 25 -j ACCEPT
-A RH-Firewall-1-INPUT -m state --state NEW -m tcp -p tcp --dport 53 -j ACCEPT
-A RH-Firewall-1-INPUT -m state --state NEW -m udp -p udp --dport 53 -j ACCEPT
I've had problems with this mail for a while now, I tried figuring out myself but no luck yet. Gurus, help please.

Please have a look into your maillog. Which messages or errors appear when you send a email?

actually I uninstalled postfix and installed again according to falko's perfect server setup for fc8. Now I just figured out that when I perform
Code:
telnet localhost 25
I get the desired result. but when I do


Code:
telnet vibhas.webinformatix.com
I get:

Quote:
Connected to vibhas.
Escape character is '^]'.
ehlo vibhas
Connection closed by foreign host.
am I missing something?

well i've got that to working. I created a local-host-names and actually had to add a dummy host within ispconfig so that the local-host-names be populated.

funny thing, I got this to work but I really dont' know how. I added the local-host-names to mydestination in /etc/postfix/main.cf and restarted postfix after doing a postfix reload. Its working!!! Now the new problem is I am trying to send email to my hotmail account with the mail myaddress@hotmail.com. the maillog doesn't show anything wrong but I don't see any new emails in my hotmail account and when I try to send a message from hotmail to my domain account myaddress@mydomain.com, no error so far but don't see anything in my mailbox.

I tried connecting to port 25 from external network but the connection times out and could not connect. I have checked my iptables and called my isp to see if they have blocked it, but no they haven't.
