Howdy,
You may want to take a look in the error logs, either /var/log/maillog or /var/log/mail.log, for clues.
However, one thing to check is to run the "hostname" command on your machine. That same hostname has to appear both in /etc/hosts, as well as on the mydestination line of /etc/postfix/main.cf.
After making any changes, you'd want to make sure you restart Postfix.

can you please tell me how to get to here threw a ftp or browser ?
Howdy,
You can do it with a browser. You may at some point want to consider using SSH with a tool like Putty -- that's a good tool for a Linux admin, and allows you quick access to everything you need via the command line.
However, to view the mail log via a browser, you can log into Virtualmin, and click Webmin -> System -> System Logs -- you'll be able to view the mail logs from that screen.

I have set the hostname and domainname to my url and restarted postfix and smtp server but it still does not work?????
could the port be blocked as every time I try to send a email to the email it says email does not exist but it does becuase I can email my self from it. Is there anyway to fix this as I have messing with it for hours and cant make it work!
A lot of ISP's do block port 25, or redirect port 25 to their own email server.
One thing you could try is sending yourself an email from another location -- such as using a Gmail or Yahoo account, for example.
