Hello,

I have a new Postfix install running under Centos 5.3. I am able to send
mail from the command line, but anything sent from another machine is not
sent, nor is it logged. I have read the debugging information and hopefully,
I am sending some useful information. I am including the log file from a
command line message that was sent, the Postfinger output, and the postconf
-n output. I noticed in the maillog that it refers to localhost, as opposed
to the actual host name. I have verified the hostname through all the
typical LInux methods. I appreciate any help.

Then it did not reach postfix.

Try:

$ telnet your.host.name smtp

from a different machine. You may need to update a firewall rule
before Postfix can receive mail from outside.

Is it even bound to an ip other than 127.0.0.1?
