    Hi. Im using this tutorial to setup my mail server https://help.ubuntu.com/community/PostfixBasicSetupHowto

    I send an email from yahoo to [email protected] - it doesnt bounce but its not delivered either.


    This is my main.cf

    When I try to reload pop3d I get:
    - not sure if this is the reason.

    In the mail.log there are only postfix entries and no IMAP or pop3 - does that mean they're not running? They're showing in ps aux ?

    Yahoo tells you that because it might already have cached your domain records for today, depending on your TTL (mostly 1 day) it will be refreshed when the TTL expires. So try again tomorrow.

    I don't think the reason is because they're cached. I have tried before a few days too and I got the same error.

    Regarding POP3: what's the output of
    Code:
    netstat -tap
    ?

    Can you also check if the MX record of your domain points to the correct server?
