Hi. Im a new in this forum so you welcome for your patience ) I set up my home serwer with http://www.howtoforge.com/perfect-server-ubuntu-9.10-ispconfig-3 howto. All works fine for me except one think - Postfix don't receive emails from any external servers (sending is ok). I read all threads on this forum and find out to I must configure DNS records. I don't know what is correct way to do this. It's possible that is not a DNS reason. Can you help me to finr reason and fix it ? I don't paste any configs etc, please tell what you want and I paste it here
Please check if the MX record of your domain points to your server. You can check that with Code: dig mx yourdomain.com
dig mx [domain] returnet that: Code: administrator@lemon:~$ dig mx hepson.pl ; <<>> DiG 9.6.1-P1 <<>> mx hepson.pl ;; global options: +cmd ;; Got answer: ;; ->>HEADER<<- opcode: QUERY, status: NOERROR, id: 13357 ;; flags: qr rd ra; QUERY: 1, ANSWER: 1, AUTHORITY: 0, ADDITIONAL: 0 ;; QUESTION SECTION: ;hepson.pl.

Yes, websites under hepson.pl are running correctly Code: administrator@lemon:~$ dig hepson.pl ; <<>> DiG 9.6.1-P1 <<>> hepson.pl ;; global options: +cmd ;; Got answer: ;; ->>HEADER<<- opcode: QUERY, status: NOERROR, id: 56529 ;; flags: qr rd ra; QUERY: 1, ANSWER: 1, AUTHORITY: 0, ADDITIONAL: 0 ;; QUESTION SECTION: ;hepson.pl.

So 217.113.235.103 is your server's public IP? Is this server located in a data center, or maybe at home or in your office?
Yes, it's my public IP. Server is located in my office, but I talked with my ISP, he said that the port 25 is blocking (so I send emails from another port). He don't said about any blocked ingoing ports. Sory for my english, it's no good but I hope that you understand what I mean )
I can send emails, but I can't receive them. I called to my ISP a few minutes ago, now port 25 is unblocked and my email account don't receive emails ;\ Another ideas ?
Do you see any errors (or any activity at all) in your mail log when you send an email to that server?
