    Unhappy Mail Servers Not Setup / Problem

    Hello

    I have a new VPS running linux and I think my mail servers are set up incorrectly. I do not receive any email at all to the emails.

    Outlook Express can login to the account etc. but doesnt receive any email.

    Can anyone help?
    Thanks
    Liam

    Did you catch up the logs? I hope that will have pretty much to tell.

    Sounds like your SMTP server configuration is messed up. That would explain why you can connect through POP/IMAP with Outlook, but you're not receiving mail.

    Have any of your test emails bounced back yet? The bounced email may have some information in it. Also, take a look at your mail log, this should be something like /var/log/maillog (I'm assuming Sendmail here).

    You may also want to try sending mail from the server (using pine or mutt) to see what happens.
