Thanks, I did those changes you wrote in the previous message and now it
works fine on the localhost. If i send an email using mail command it
shows up in my mailbox which is what I want. However if I go jump on my
windows box and use a mail client there and try to send to my linux
machine an email I get the following error in my mailq log

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------

I'm using OE in windows for the testing purposes (i usually use
thunderbird) and the settings I used for my SMTP settings for OE are
Name: Ryan
Email: ryan@thedomain.com
outgoing email: 192.168.0.101
port: 25

OE created the 230921E79F and B848F1ED5B failed email above. The ip
address that my windows machine is on is 192.168.0.106.

I also tried it using putty and the SMTP protocol and this is what I did

---------------------------------------------------
220 linux.theknopps.com ESMTP Postfix
HELO
501 Syntax: HELO hostname
MAIL FROM:ryan@aisp.com
250 Ok
RCPT TO:ryan@theknopps.com
250 Ok
DATA
354
this is a test.
.
250 Ok: queued as 8A4701ED95
-----------------------------------------------------

and as you see this showed up in my mailq log as a connection refused error.

I went in and looked at my main.cf file again and noticed these line

>>>mynetworks = 192.168.0.0/28, 127.0.0.0/8

Shouldn't this line solve this problem? I only want the smtp to work in
my local network at 192.168.0.*.

Any suggestions? Thanks a lot for you help.

My mail_spool_directory is commented out but it looks like they are
deliverying the mail directly.
