    Hi,

    I cant recieve emails on my server. I can sent emails. Iam using a relay server from my Isp (mailrelay.direct-adsl.nl) installed this relayserver in main.cfg and in my MX records of the domain Ive got.

    I have searched the forum over and over again and have tried almost everything i could find but no succes so far.

    can someone help me a bit please? (o, im a bit of a noob with linux, just trying to learn something. server itself is working fine :D )

    I am also fairly new to this so i am going to try and offer some assistants

    Are there any erros in you mail log?

    go to /var/log and type the following command:

    tail -f maillog

    then send a message to your domain.

    When I send an email from my gmail account to my account on the server I got this back:

    This is an automatically generated Delivery Status Notification

    Delivery to the following recipient failed permanently:

    [email protected]



    PERM_FAILURE: Gmail tried to deliver your message, but it was rejected by the recipient domain. The error that the other server returned was: 550 550 5.7.1 <[email protected]>... Relaying denied. We recommend contacting the other email provider for further information about the cause of this error. Thanks for your continued support. (state 14)


    -----------------

    Strange thing is that I can sent an email to another user on the server en the message is recieved there but in the mail.log I cant find anything about that message....

    Hi Falco,

    Yes. gizzie.nl is the server. smtp.gizzie.nl is the mailserver on it.


    SOLVED!!!

    It turns out te be that my provider was blocking my port 25. took me a while to figure that one out but a phone call to my provider and problem was solved.

    Thanks batescr and Falko for helping me!!
