Perfect setup edgy Eft 6.10 mysql root password error

I have been following the "The Perfect Setup - Ubuntu 6.10 Server (Edgy Eft)" tutorial step -by-step and everything seems to going fine, except, for one step. It is on page 37 of the guide (pdf) and states:

1- mysqladmin -u root password yourrootsqlpassword

2- mysqladmin -h myserver.mydomain.com -u root password yourrootsqlpassword

When Run the 1st command, it seems to run fine, BUT when I run the 2nd command, I get the following error:

error: 'Host 'mail.bridgesofhopeinc.com' is not allowed to connect to this MySQL server

Any ideas on this error? I am sort new with mail servers and such, but know a little about linux and any help would be appreciated. I am using edgy eft 6.10 Desktop edition (NOT server edition) I do not know if this matters or not.

Thanks, I will proceed and let you know how it goes.

 

Another issue

I have followed all of the commands up to page 44of57. Among the steps, it requires me to telnet into my localhost 25 and type command:
"ehlo localhost".

I am supposedly able to see lines such as:

250-STARTTLS
and
250-AUTH

However this is all I see:

250-mail.domainname.com ESMTP Exim 4.62 Tue, 06 Mar 2007
250-SIZE 52428800
250-PIPELINING
250-HELP

Any help is appreciated and if you need config files, I will gladly submit them.

Thanks

What's in /etc/postfix/main.cf?

 

Here is the /etc/postfix/main.cf

Let me know what you think...thanks again for all of your help.

 

Maybe you can read this one better:

Sorry...

 

I've just read your previous post again and see that Exim is running instead of Postfix. Please stop Exim and start Postfix instead, and everything should be ok.
