    Hi!

    Im able to send out email, but when I try to send an email to the emailadres Im sending from I get an Bounce.

    What are the mailservers I should enter in my (hosting, 3rd party) dns?

    Right now they' re like mx2.example.com.

    How works this in ISP Config?

    You can enter any domain name or subdomain name that points to the ip address of your server.

    So, mx.example.nl will work just fine?
    I didn't try anything yet cause I don't want to screw up anything :D

    Yes, as long as mx.example.nl exists in dns and points to the ip address of your server. you can e.g. test it like this:

    ping mx.example.nl

    if the command returns the ip address of your server, then you can use it as mx record target.

    Fixt some, it works right now, i restarted dovecot after adding a postmaster_address.
    After reboot, emails got deliverd. But email I send now is not there after 2 minutes. Is this normal behavior?

    Now the email still isn't there and besides that, I sended more emails then the 2 that were delivered. I took more then 15 minutes now (at least in squirrel) can I check somewhere if the emails are on the server orso?

    Check yor mail.log for errors. A local delivery takes just a few seconds. If external servers are involved or when you use greylisting, then it will take longer.

    The log is fine, no errors and emails that reached your server got successfully delivered within 15 seconds, so on your server there is everything ok.
