Email problems

Is SELinux disabled?

 

SELinux is disabled.

 

That's strange, I can connect to your server without problems:

Code:

mh1:~# telnet server1.elmtreedesign.co.uk 25
Trying 194.106.43.87...
Connected to i-194-106-43-87.freedom2surf.net.

What happens when you run

Code:

telnet server1.elmtreedesign.co.uk 25

on your server?

 

I have found the telnet problem the router on my network dosn't have loopback. If I try to visit www.bookowl.co.uk from the server I then get the log in screen for the router. I have entered
the following in the etc/hosts file and that has fixed the telnet problem

127.0.0.1 localhost.localdomain
192.168.16.90 server1.elmtreedesign.co.uk
192.168.16.90 www.bookowl.co.uk
192.168.16.90 bookowl.co.uk
192.168.16.90 mail1.bookowl.co.uk

I still have the problem not receiving roots email. I added the entry above server1.elmtreedesign.co.uk but that hasn't worked.

the latest maillog after I flushed postqueue

 

Since Postfix doesn't seem to care about your /etc/hosts (it still shows your external IP address in the mail log for server1.elmtreedesign.co.uk), you can try this:

Thanks Falko, that seems to have fixed it
