    You are sending from a dynamic IP address:

    Almost all dynamic IP addresses are blacklisted nowadays.
    You could relay your mails through another mail server: http://www.howtoforge.com/postfix_relaying_through_another_mailserver

    I started to follow the howto as above but when I entered the command
    Code:
    chown root:root /etc/postfix/sasl_passwd
    I got the following message
    Code:
    chown: cannot access `/etc/postfix/sasl_passwd': No such file or directory
    What went wrong:confused:

    I have followed the 'Howto' for the Ubuntu Gutsy Server Setup.

    I was logged in as root and in the directory '/home/user1'. All preceeding commands went in without reporting any errors/complaining (if it complained it wasn't noticeable).:eek:

    Oops!! Missed a command
    Code:
    echo "smtp.example.com   someuser:howtoforge" > /etc/postfix/sasl_passwd
    Doh!! It seems to have been configured without complaining. Now for a test!!

    testing

    Ok, Falko thank you very much anyway.

    Well, let's supposing I did all tutorial steps the right way and let's supposing all my ports are open and anything in my server is right , what could be wrong?

    I'm in a NAT, so, I have a 10.100.1.27 local IP and an external IP (just for my server), so I can connect to my server with such external IP.

    I have one domain configured in my server (ie. myserver.com), I don't use ISPConfig, but I installed it when I followed the tutorial.

    The MX settings of my housing service provider (HSP) or something like that?
    it could be a problem with my HSP?
    What can I ask to my HSP to know that?

    Thanks, really thanks in advance.
