    Hi,

    I have setup an email server with postfix and dovecot. Installation went fine but I am not able to receive emails from external users(gmail, yahoo etc) but I can send email to external users.
    When an external user send an email , it gets bounced backed with the following error:-

    Technical details of permanent failure:
    Google tried to deliver your message, but it was rejected by the server for the recipient domain mail.intelliswift.com by mail.intelliswift.com. [14.141.53.97].

    The error that the other server returned was:
    554 5.7.1 <[email protected]>: Recipient address rejected: Access denied

    I can see some error logs in the maillog file as following:-

    Jul 11 15:27:18 mail postfix/smtpd[4056]: connect from mail-ob0-f169.google.com[209.85.214.169]
    Jul 11 15:27:20 mail postfix/smtpd[4056]: NOQUEUE: reject: RCPT from mail-ob0-f169.google.com[209.85.214.169]: 554 5.7.1 <[email protected]>: Recipient address rejected: Access denied; from=<[email protected]> to=<[email protected]> proto=ESMTP helo=<mail-ob0-f169.google.com>
    Jul 11 15:27:21 mail postfix/smtpd[4056]: disconnect from mail-ob0-f169.google.com[209.85.214.169]

    Please note that, I have setup the MX record properly. My domain is mail.intelliswift.com and its pointing to an IP 14.141.53.97 and it has a MX record as mail.intelliswift.com.
    Please find below the output of postconf :-
