    Is this your server's public IP address? 83.88.255.194

    Do you see anything happen in your mail log when you run
    Code:
    tail -f /path/to/maillog
    and then send a mail to your server?

    klippinge-it:~# tail -f /path/to/maillog
    tail: cannot open `/path/to/maillog' for reading: No such file or directory
    tail: no files remaining
    klippinge-it:~#

    Of course you must replace /path/to/maillog with the correct path...

    Normally it's something like /var/log/mail, /var/log/mail.log, /var/log/maillog, depending on your distribution.

    It say:

    Nov 26 23:10:29 klippinge-it courierpop3login: Connection, ip=[::ffff:83.91.11.109]
    Nov 26 23:10:29 klippinge-it courierpop3login: LOGIN, user=web1_dev, ip=[::ffff:83.91.11.109]
    Nov 26 23:10:29 klippinge-it courierpop3login: LOGOUT, user=web1_dev, ip=[::ffff:83.91.11.109], top=0, retr=0, time=0

    That is what the mail.log say's when I have logged on OutLook Express

    I only see Courier lines, but no lines from Postfix. Please send a mail from an external account to your server and run tail at the same time. What do you see in your mail log?

    I'm getting this:

    Code:
    mh1:~# telnet 83.88.255.194 25
    Trying 83.88.255.194...
    telnet: Unable to connect to remote host: No route to host
    Is 83.88.255.194 your server's IP address?

    I think you should ask your ISP why it says "No route to host".

    I think the correct URL is https://83.88.255.194:81/ ;)
    I also hope this is a fixed IP, no dynamic given by telecom...
