Centos/Postfix able to send mail but not receive it
- by Dan Hastings
I have set up postfix and used the mail command to test and an email was successfully sent and delivered. The email arrived in my yahoo inbox BUT the sender also recieved an email in the Maildir directory saying "I'm sorry to have to inform you that your message could not
be delivered to one or more recipients", even though the message was delivered. I tried replying from yahoo to the email but it never arrived.
I have 1 MX record added to godaddy which i did last week.
Priority0
Host @
Points to mail.domain.com
TTL1 Hour
Postfix main.cf has the following added to it
myhostname = mail.domain.com
mydomain = domain.com
myorigin = $mydomain
inet_interfaces = all
mydestination = $myhostname, localhost.$mydomain, localhost, $mydomain
mynetworks = 192.168.0.0/24, 127.0.0.0/8
relay_domains =
home_mailbox = Maildir/
I checked var/logs/maillog and found the following errors occuring
