    [SOLVED] Postfix won't receive

    I have been noticing over the last several days that I haven't been receiving any mail, and so today I verified by attempting to send mail to my email account from a remote host. So far, none of them have come in the Inbox and no error messages on the other side.

    As a foreword, I have not touched Postfix's configuration for sometime, and it just out of the blue stopped working again. So, I will go down the checklist and hopefully someone can help me out.

    • Router - Port 25 [open]
    • Server (no firewall), thus port 25 is open
    • Restarted Postfix (didn't help)
    • Restarted Server (still didn't help)


    And for the record, here is an exact copy of my /etc/postfix/main.cf:
    Code:
    # See /usr/share/postfix/main.cf.dist for a commented, more complete version
    
    
    # SASL SUPPORT FOR CLIENTS
    # The following options set parameters needed by Postfix to enable 
    # Cyrus-SASL support for authentication of mail clients. 
    # 
    smtpd_sasl_auth_enable = yes
    smtpd_sasl_security_options = noanonymous
    smtpd_sasl_local_domain = $myhostname
    broken_sasl_auth_clients = yes
    
    
    smtpd_banner = $myhostname ESMTP $mail_name (Ubuntu)
    biff = no
    
    # appending .domain is the MUA's job.
    
    # Uncomment the next line to generate "delayed mail" warnings
    delay_warning_time = 1h
    
    # TLS parameters
    smtpd_tls_cert_file = /etc/ssl/certs/ssl-cert-snakeoil.pem
    smtpd_tls_key_file = /etc/ssl/private/ssl-cert-snakeoil.key
    smtpd_use_tls = yes
    smtpd_tls_session_cache_database = btree:${queue_directory}/smtpd_scache
    smtp_tls_session_cache_database = btree:${queue_directory}/smtp_scache
    
    # See /usr/share/doc/postfix/TLS_README.gz in the postfix-doc package for
    # information on enabling SSL in the smtp client.
    
    mynetworks = 127.0.0.0/8 192.168.0.0/24
    myhostname = mycroftserver.homelinux.org
    alias_maps = hash:/etc/aliases
    alias_database = hash:/etc/aliases
    myorigin = /etc/mailname
    mydestination = mycroftserver.homelinux.org, selftech.homelinux.org, mycroft, localhost.localdomain, localhost
    mailbox_size_limit = 0
    recipient_delimiter = +
    mydomain = mycroftserver.homelinux.org
    home_mailbox = Maildir/
    #mailbox_command = 
    
    smtpd_recipient_restrictions = permit_sasl_authenticated, permit_mynetworks, check_relay_domains
    
    broken_sasl_auth_clients = yes
    
    #relay_domains = lists.mycroftserver.homelinux.org
    #transport_maps = hash:/etc/postfix/transport
    #mailman_destination_recipient_limit = 1
    inet_protocols = ipv4
    
    masquerade_domains = mycroftserver.homelinux.org
    relayhost = 
    inet_interfaces = all
    Some further information:
    I can send outbound just fine. The remote email account has received every email sent to it.
    I tried telnetting to the host on port 25 and sending an email to my local inbox, and I received it. Example:
    Code:
    telnet mycroftserver.homelinux.org 25
    Postfix is starting to annoy me with it's odd unexplained quirks that happen from time to time. If anyone could help me out further, I would be much obliged. I need to get my mailserver working again. Thanks!

    Re: Postfix won't receive

    Thanks to vice-versa from #postfix @ freenode, we were able to solve the postfix problem. Apparently, something was messing up with the modem (not Postfix!) and so after I reset the modem, he was able to connect, and then the emails started working again.

    Now over the next several hours, I can imagine the emails will be pouring in. I'll mark this as solved for future reference!
