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: http://www.howtoforge.com/forums/showpost.php?p=41710&postcount=4
