Is the ip address 61.11.35.136 on that same server, looks like postfix is trying to verify the sender thus its trying to connect to the MX record and connections are not being allowed.
Can you maybe rename the server to mail.dharanetworks.com. or if not setup dns to have 2 views, mail.dharanetworks.com to point to local ip on the inside and mail.dharanetworks.com -> 61.11.35.136 on the outside. or try adding it to the /etc/hosts I am sure this is being caused by some kind of sender verification within postfix
cannot understand log thank you ma frend..its working now.. but when i m monitor log then sometime... Jan 31 11:26:40 server postfix/anvil[3162]: statistics: max connection rate 1/60s for (smtp:217.42.107.200) at Jan 31 11:23:17 Jan 31 11:26:40 server postfix/anvil[3162]: statistics: max connection count 1 for (smtp:217.42.107.200) at Jan 31 11:23:17 Jan 31 11:26:40 server postfix/anvil[3162]: statistics: max cache size 1 at Jan 31 11:23:17 i see this log.. so what is this? and if it is a virum,spam or something else..then tell me how can i prevent this.. thaks again .. bro
Thats not a problem it is normal it is anvil with is a postfix program that keeps track of connections if you want to do some kind of connection limiting its what you use. So don't bother about it.

There is no problem there someone is trying to relay through your server, but its a good think that your server is configured well so it is rejecting the message.
k .. really i worried to see this log.. thank a lot.. now i have 2 configure this mail through client MUA like outlook express. when i configure it i have 2 put my server's ip for pop3 and smtp connection but i want to put pop3.mydomain.com and smtp.mydomain.com. so what should i do for this?
