I'm running CentOS 6.2. Try as I might I simply cannot get incoming mail to work on a virtual server. Here's the myriad of problems I'm unable to solve.
*Internal mail sends to others on the same server. Shows up ONLY in Postfix Mail Server section of Webmin when looking at User Mailboxes. Does not show up in Roundcube :/
No mail seems to make it to the server, I thought the problem was in the main.cf file at the line
inet_interfaces = localhost
which I changed to include the server IP address, but that just results in mail being bounced back by gmail or outlook live.

Note, changing the line back to localhost without the IP, emails no longer bounce back but they aren't delivered either.
Howdy,
Try setting the "inet_interfaces" option in your main.cf to "all", that will cause it to listen on all interfaces.
Let us know if that solves some or all of the issues you're seeing; if there's any remaining, let us know which are still issues and we can work from there :-)
-Eric
I have made the change and restarted Postfix, no change.
I try to telnet to port 25 to the domain in question in the console and get
but I have no problem telnetting to 127.0.0.1 25
I've made certain that iptables is configured to allow outside traffic on port 25 but even with iptables OFF I'm unable to connect to port 25 using the domain name.tld.
ACCEPT tcp -- anywhere anywhere tcp dpt:smtpSo that's where I am. I am getting mail bounced back now with the change of inet_interfaces to all.
Howdy,
Just to verify, did you restart Postfix after changing that option?
Also, to verify that Postfix is indeed listening on all interfaces, you can run this command:
netstat -an | grep :25Yes I did restart Postfix after making the change.
Howdy,
Hmm, it doesn't appear that Postfix is listening for connections other than localhost.
What is the output of these two commands:
/sbin/ifconfigpostconf -n | grep inet_interfaces

If it helps here's a bounced mail from my gmail account.

netstat -an | grep :25If Postfix still isn't listening on all interfaces, do you see any errors in "/var/log/maillog" that occur during or just after restarting Postfix?
-Eric
and
Here's the update in maillog after restarting.
There we go! Now it does appear to be listening on all interfaces (we can determine that by seeing it listen on "0.0.0.0").
Can you try accessing port 25 again, on your public IP address?
-Eric
Is there a difference in the commands "Service postfix restart" vs "/etc/init.d/postfix restart"? Seemed as though they accomplished the same thing but I guess not?
I am able to telnet in from my outside IP though so that's progress. Mail is still bouncing though back though. I'll include the latest bounced email below.
Before I paste that though I'd like to thank you for all the help I appreciate it very much.
