Postfix fails to receive mail
Hi all,
postfix can send mail but fails to receive mail.
server runs on a VM of Oracle VirtualBox
fixed ip address
hostname - ser01.mydomain.com
On router - ports 25/443/995/80/8080/etc. pointing to 192.168.0.218 (local ip of the server)
I was following;
Virtual Users And Domains With Postfix, Courier, MySQL And SquirrelMail (Ubuntu 11.10)
http://www.howtoforge.com/virtual-us...l-ubuntu-11.10
building this server on ubuntu-10.04 (LTS)

sent 1st mail to server on yahoo mail.
sales@mydomain.com

Please create an A record for mail.mydomain.com.

Hi,
According to
Code:
13 Populate The Database And Test
If you want to make entries in the other two tables, that would look like this:
in your Howto, I already did;
Code:
INSERT INTO `transport` (`domain`, `transport`) VALUES ('mydomain.com', 'smtp:mail.mydomain.com');
creating the record.
mysql> SELECT * from transport;
Code:
+-------------+-----------------------+
| domain | transport |
+-------------+-----------------------+
| mydomain.com | smtp:mail.mydomain.com |
+-------------+-----------------------+
1 row in set (0.00 sec)
B.R.

No, I mean a DNS record (an A record).

On domain register website
Code:
Host Points to
@ xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx (fixed ip)
ser01 xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx (fixed ip)
CNAME (Alias)
Host Points to
e ser01.mydomain.com
email ser01.mydomain.com
imap imap.secureserver.net
pop ser01.mydomain.com
smtp ser01.mydomain.com
webmail ser01.mydomain.com
www @
MX (Mail Exchanger)
Priority Host Points
30 @ mailstore1.secureserver.net
20 @ smtp.secureserver.net
10 @ ser01.mydomain.com
Whether change
Code:
email ser01.mydomain.com
to
Code:
email mail.mydomain.com
OR
Code:
smtp ser01.mydomain.com
to
Code:
smtp mail.mydomain.com
?
Thanks
Edit:
Performed following step on Register's website
Under A(Host)
--> Quick Add
Host - mail.mydomain.com
Points to - xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx (fixed ip)
-> Save Zone File
After saving "mail.mydomain.com" becomes "mail" (mydomain.com hidden)
Now under "A(Host)"
Host Points to
Code:
@ xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx (fixed ip)
mail xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx (fixed ip)
ser01 xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx (fixed ip)
I do hope that I understand your advice correctly A record = A(Host) on my Register's website. If I'm wrong please correct me. Thanks.
Now I'm waiting the change to propagate.
B.R.

Still no hope. Mail came but disconnected from unknown (xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx) (fixed IP). Why?

How to fix the problem? TIA
Edit:
on /etc/postfix/main.cf
mydestination = localhost.$mydomain, localhost, mail.mydomain.com
reload postfix
Now mail arrived without problem.

Are there any errors in your mail log (in the /var/log/ directory)?
