cant recive emails

Ive been looking around these forums for sulotions but none helped me so i figured i would make a topic.

im a newbie on linux so i dont know everything so do it noob friendly when you answer please.
its running on fedora 7 btw.

look in the attachment for my maillog.


ps. how do i copy the whole maillog i use putty and i usethe command nano /var/log/maillog

 

i know they do thats why im using smtprelay1.telia.com for outgoing email (thats my providers email server)

 

anyone? this has botherd me really long not to get email server working

 

Did you set up relaying as shown here? http://www.howtoforge.com/postfix_relaying_through_another_mailserver

 

okey i now did that but the email bounce back with this...

and a attachment with this info

Code:

ive edited out ip and email with xxx

 

Relaying is for sending from your server, but now you're sending to your server?

 

i was sending a email to [email protected] from my hotmail account then i got that email back to hotmail with that info. (even gmail did the same)

sending emails from [email protected] is just fine but i cant recive anything...

 

Is server.xxx.com[90.xxx.xxx.180] your server? Are there any errors in the mail log?

 

yes that is my server

here is the new maillog i still dont know how to copy the whole thing though..

 

too many hops usually means that there are too many servers involved in delivering the mail.
Do you use fetchmail to fetch the mails from another server, or do you use a spamfilter somewhere in the chain?
What's in /etc/postfix/main.cf?

 

this is my maincf

 

Looks ok, except that you have some options twice in main.cf (please comment the double options out and restart Postfix).

Do you get this problem with every domain you're sending to, or just with one?

I think that it might somehow have to do with your relay server. Does the relay server maybe forward the mails back to your server which then forwards it again to the relay server?

 

Im not too sure what the problem is ill fix the main.cf when i get home but i dont see it making the problem

ive tryed sending to gmail,hotmail

 

sry for the bump but havnt solved this one yet

 

Do you get this problem with every domain you're sending to, or just with one?

 

is the problem sending or receiving email ?
If it is receiving, try using www.network-tools.com to make an email connection.

that does not look correct to me, there should be a valid ip address in there, no?

 

hmm true but ive set up all domains with the server ip
