Can send & recieve mail via local mail & linux acts but cannot recieve frm ext mail

hi i followed this Virtual Users And Domains With Postfix, Courier And MySQL (CentOS 5.1).

In outlook i can login to the accounts. when i do test mail account i can both login and send a testmail.

However on the mail server i cannot recieve the test email.

If i send mail between the email clients and the local linux accounts the server can recieve them. However once i send from somewhere like gmail, there is no email being recieved, in gmail i do not get an email delievery messege daemon saying that the account does not exits.

What i suspect is the spamassasin is overactively destroying the mails. In the emails that i send via the server email accounts but not the linux accounts there is ***SPAM*** inside the top header.

Here is a log when i send a test mail through outlook

***but i still can't seem to recieve email form gmail or external mail agent only from accounts inside the server***

chmod -R a+rX /usr/lib/python2.4/site-packages/pyzor
should i do this for lib64 ???
not present in lib64

 

ok fixed external mail problem it was because of bad mx and a records but i can send emails from gmail but not certain other mails.

 

solved. works now
