Whoa! There is a bunch of stuff you gota do before sending and recieving email. First off ya gota get yourself one of them there domain names. Next ya gota setup the dns so that email going to your domain goes to the correct ip plus ya gota set the priority for that mail server ip.
If your running Webmin which I would recomend you do go to the postfix server and under general options enter what domain to use in outbound mail and next what domain to recieve mail for. Next on your dsl router map ports 25 and 110 to the machine that is running postfix. Mapping port 110 will alow you to pop mail from outside your network like from work. If everything is setup correctly it should work. The importat thing is the dns settings. I run my own dns so I dont have to depend on outside tech support to get it right.
