Check the log file /var/log/messages when you try to send or receive email, and see whats logged, and post it here.

really thanks for your reply! i don't thing that it is something is related with the virtualmin, mails can be exchanged from email to email in the same server, i can't receive or send mail from out! i m sure that is something simple! let's make a quick recap and, if you find me somewhere wrong, correct me. 1) i've created 1 new, a record with the zone "mail.mydomain.com 2)of course i put the static ip connected with it. 3) i've created an mx record with: 1 Domain provider asks me for the zone, i put the "mail.mydomain.com" 2 an active fqdn url, i put my fqdn as is when i type hostname in my system so is, hostname.mydomain.com, i put a value 10 in delivery box,,, and ,,,then i press add! my only question is, i should write somewhere , any email address? and where? i have to create a new mx record, in edit server>dns record, to include the email? or i have to do something new? just ask not to do something is not right, & also to have a help since it is the first time i create this! really thanks for all, Theo
It is common for service providers to block port 25 for mail exchange.
We suggest you contact your provider with this question.
