I had the mail working when I sent it throught my ISP. But now that I have a static IP, I can not get it working. I reinstalled the server software (debian perfect setup) I sent mail out and get nothing. I do not know why it is using @example.com for. When I enter the command hostname it is just what I setup when I installed the server.This is the log file for the mail.

working on getting mail to send and receive I went into the main.cf file and this is what it looks like. HTML: # See /usr/share/postfix/main.cf.dist for a commented, more complete version # Debian specific: Specifying a file name will cause the first # line of that file to be used as the name.

mynetworks is correct. You must set the correct sender address in your email client (e.g. Outlook, Thunderbird, Squirrelmail, etc.).
I had set up the mail server to forward throught my ISP and it woked fine. I was able to send and receive from my hotmail account. Now I reset up the server and got a static IP and as you told me it is sending, but I am not recieiving. What changed ? Is there some sort of record I need to set up? Is there somthing I need to point to my server from were my domain is registered? Is there any info were I can read about what I have configured wrong? Thanks for everything
You must set up MX records for your email domains: http://www.howtoforge.com/traditional_dns_howto_p4
MX record I went to the dns in ispconfig for the website I created, and there is a MX record in there. I did setup a MX record at noip. They have my domain pointing to my server, but it is www.mysite4webhosing.com. Just the same as is in the DNS in ispconfig area for the site. I added one for apostolichearts.com site as well, but it is mail.apostolichearts.com. The nameservers for the site apostolichearts is www.mysite4webhosting.com. Is the name server ok? I'm confused. I do have DNS service from noip.com. I do not think it is being used. Can I enter there info and change the dns to point to them under nameservers? I think they have like 5 ns servers. I'm sorry that I do not understand more. I'm trying to understand all this mail stuff. I thank you for your help. p.s. I noticed that the mx for apostolichearts at noip.com was mail.apostolichearts.com, I changed it to www.mysite4webhosting.com. That is what I set my box up with when I did the install. Was that corect to change that?

yes Yes that is my IP. Now I am able to send and receive mail from mysbc dsl account, but I can not send or receive from hotmail. How can I get hotmail to except my email from the serer?. I just do not want people that sighn up on the site with hotmail or any other mail service not to receive mail from the site.
I went ahead and installed my script and the mail is working. Strange, it will not send to hotmail from squrrelmail, (send or receive) but it has no troubles sending from the script. Do you have any suggestions as to maybe another program to use to get my mail besides squrrelmail? Also how can I uninstall squrrelmail from ispconfig? Thanks for all the help.
