Howdy,
That is indeed the correct log -- however, it's rather huge... it'd be great if you could show the logs that occur whenever attempting to send or receive an email that you're having problems with.
I do see a couple of issues that stand out though -- in one case, it doesn't look like an email is being given a from address, and it's using "shieldomega@debian.server", which is likely derived from your hostname.
You'd want to make sure you have an FQDN as your hostname -- which is in the format host.domain.com.
Also, I see this error towards the top of your logs:
host mta7.am0.yahoodns.net[66.94.236.34] refused to talk to me: 553 5.7.1 [BL21]Connections will not be accepted from 86.6.56.216, because the ip is in Spamhaus's list; see
http://postmaster.yahoo.com/550-bl23.html
That suggests that your IP is listed in an RBL. In fact, looking here, it's listed in 3 RBL's:
http://www.anti-abuse.org/multi-rbl-check-results/?host=86.6.56.216
That would prevent it from being delivered to a any mail server doing lookups at those RBL's.

Hey Eric what hostname should I use? and how would I go about changing it
You can use any hostname you want, it just needs to be in the FQDN format, and it should exist.
You can change it in Webmin -> Networking -> Hostname and DNS.
You can make sure it exists in Virtualmin -> DOMAIN -> Server Configuration -> DNS Records.

I don't seem to have that option in networking Eric

( also is there anyway to get a email back when someone reply's on a thread on this site? I can't see to find the option anywhere) not a on topic question I know sorry
Edit = nvm I found the option hope it works :D
Hey I found it under
Webmin >> Networking >> Network Configuration >> Hostname and DNS Client
Ive added debian.vodkaholic.co.uk

Would that be ok?
Cheers
Sorry, that's what I get for trying to remember the path to that option off the top of my head :-)
Yes, changing your hostname as you suggested should work just fine (though you'd also want to add a DNS 'A' record as described above).
-Eric
No worry's :)
Eric am still not getting emails from the site :(

Cheers
Your logs there all look good! I see several messages that were accepted by the remove server for delivery.
I don't see any errors or problems in your logs.
You may want to verify that your emails aren't in the spam folder, maybe they were flagged as spam for some reason.
