When trying with the IP i'm getting the following error message: Or with no username and user auth unticked i get.
Then Postfix isn't running, or a firewall is blocking it. What's the output of Code: netstat -tap and Code: iptables -L ? Do you have a desktop firewall? That might also be the problem. Try to switch it off for testing purposes.
I get this: Code: telnet 70.147.153.69 25 Trying 70.147.153.69... Connected to 70.147.153.69. Escape character is '^]'. and then it hangs. So Postfix is running, but I guess myhostname is wrong. What's in /etc/postfix/main.cf and in /etc/resolv.conf? Edit: Forget the above, it just took a little bit longer (10 seconds or so) until the server responded. This is the output: Code: mh1:~# telnet 70.147.153.69 25 Trying 70.147.153.69... Connected to 70.147.153.69.

As far as I can see this is ok. Please check your desktop firewall.
