Postfix: Connection refused. E-mail bounces back to sender.

[Fidelix]

I'm testing my mail server, and sending email works fine.

However, when i tried to send emails to my server from gmail, i get this log:

Aug  8 14:18:17 anbient postfix/smtpd[14228]: warning: database /etc/postfix/virtual.db is older than source file /etc/postfix/virtual

And this is strange. 174.132.240.146 seems to be the web address 'net.net'.

I am sure this has to be some setting in postfix, cuz its trying to deliver the email to 'fidelix@net', and that cant be right.

I appreciate any help at all.

Should be

Fixed that. But problem still remains.

I restarted dovecot / postfix and retried:

Email is still bouncing back.

to=<fidelix@net>

Why are you trying to send mail to fidelix@net? Actually, you say you try to "send mail to your server". What are you doing, exactly? You don't send mail to a machine, you send mail to a user.

[Fidelix]

Thats right.

I'm on my gmail account, and i'm trying to send an email to eu@felipefidelix.com, which is my e-mail on the postfix/dovecot.

The email bounces back immediately after gmail sends it.

It seems my postfix server is trying to deliver the e-mail at fidelix@net, for some reason. And thats what i want to fix, but dont know how.

warning: database /etc/postfix/virtual.db is older than source file

you have to postmap, if you use hash files in your main.cf!

sudo postmap /etc/postfix/virtual

and reload service

also some logfiles would be nice
