I have Lnux running on the Internet with Web, SMTP, etc(arial.domainx.ro).
For some reason I can not receive mail neither from the outside world nor
from the same machine. I don't have a system administrator for that Linux
yet, so I have to learn it.
Initially I thought that the firewall is causing that, but now I'm not so
sure.
Can anybody give me a step by step procedure (including commands to type)
to check what is wrong( what config files to look at, if the daemons are
started, etc ) ?
Below I pasted the error message I got back when I tried to email usery
from the outside.
Thanks in advance.
