Hi, I have set up my server to be able to send mail with postfix, I was able to send mail with mutt, but all of a sudden no mail reached its destination, I didn't make any change in the config files, what could be wrong?

Without more information, it looks like the MX record for <detraw.myip.org> points back to your server, but Postfix doesn't know it should accept email for the domain. I can force the same error by removing my domain from the "domains" file for Postfix and restarting.
When did this start happening? Do you have logs from when this all worked? |

| Can you post your postfix main.cf file? Don't include lines that begin with # though. |

This is my main.cf file:
| Code: |
queue_directory = /var/spool/postfix
command_directory = /usr/sbin
daemon_directory = /usr/lib/postfix
mail_owner = postfix
mydomain = detraw.myip.org
myorigin = $myhostname
inet_interfaces = $myhostname, localhost
mydestination = $myhostname, localhost.$mydomain
unknown_local_recipient_reject_code = 450
relay_domains = $mydestination
relayhost = $mydomain
alias_maps = hash:/etc/mail/aliases
alias_database = hash:/etc/mail/aliases
home_mailbox = .maildir/
local_destination_concurrency_limit = 2
default_destination_concurrency_limit = 10
debug_peer_level = 2
debugger_command =
PATH=/bin:/usr/bin:/usr/local/bin:/usr/X11R6/bin
xxgdb $daemon_directory/$process_name $process_id & sleep 5
sendmail_path = /usr/sbin/sendmail
newaliases_path = /usr/bin/newaliases
mailq_path = /usr/bin/mailq
setgid_group = postdrop
manpage_directory = /usr/share/man
sample_directory = /etc/postfix/sample
readme_directory = /usr/share/doc/postfix-2.0.9

Hello,
I think it's this:
| Code: |
relayhost = $mydomain
|
Set this to:
You are telling postfix to relay all mail to the host detraw.myip.org which is itself.
Hope this helps. |
