Hi i just setup my debian server as mentioned in http://www.howtoforge.com/perfect_setup_debian_etch All services are on however when i try to send email via php's mail() function i get some errors on mail.log like, Oct 4 16:23:06 server postfix/smtp[3722]: 186A06443EB: host f.mx.mail.yahoo.com[209.191.88.247] refused to talk to me: 553 Mail from xx.xxx.xxx.xx not allowed - 5.7.1 [BL21] Connections not accepted from IP addresses on Spamhaus PBL; see http://postmaster.yahoo.com/550-bl21.html [550]". mail() function works, it sends the message however recipient blocks message. Thus my server is in my local network behind an adsl router, when i try to connect to pop3 service via client Kmail 1.9.10 i get those error below on mail.log, what went wrong?
