i've followed this tutorial in order to get a postfix mail server with virtual domains running:
http://flurdy.com/docs/postfix/
Right now i still have not implemented the wole tutorial but i have stopped after here:
http://flurdy.com/docs/postfix/#config-simple-imap
Right now i would like to be able to send emails, which i'm able to do, and also recieve emails from the world. Right now when i send an email from me@gmail.com i get it rejected by postfix:
Sep 16 09:24:04 myhost postfix/smtpd[25086]: connect from mail-vw0-f44.google.com[209.85.212.44]
Sep 16 09:24:04 myhost postfix/smtpd[25086]: NOQUEUE: reject: RCPT from mail-vw0-f44.google.com[209.85.212.44]: 554 5.7.1 <root@mydomain.com>: Relay access denied; from=<me@gmail.com> to=<root@mydomain.com> proto=ESMTP helo=<mail-vw0-f44.google.com>
Sep 16 09:24:05 myhost postfix/smtpd[25086]: disconnect from mail-vw0-f44.google.com[209.85.212.44]
I must say i'm able to telnet mydomain.com 25 even from outside and from the localhost without problems.
If i send a mail from localhost by running echo .This will go into the body of the mail.. | mail -s -v .Hello root@mydomain.com i'm getting the following error where x.y.w.z simbolizes my public ip address` so there's no mail to check for root user:

Here goes a part of /etc/sysconfig/network i think the problem could be mynetworks_style value??:
myhostname = mail.mydomain.com
mydomain = mydomain.com
myorigin = mydomain.com
relayhost =
inet_interfaces = all
mynetworks_style = host
cat /etc/mailname
mail.pauperis.com
Here is my /etc/hosts file, the real hostname is myhost.mydomain.com but as GoDaddy zone file has an mx entry called mail.mydomain.com which points x.y.w.z as well as mydomain.com does, i added the mail.mydomain.com alias also here because in postfix configuration file i use the name mail.mydomain.com while apache uses mydomain.com
cat /etc/hosts:
127.0.0.1 myhost.mydomain.com localhost localhost.localdomain mail.mydomain.com
#public ip address
x.y.w.z mydomain.com www.mydomain.com mail.mydomain.com
#private ip address
a.b.c.d myhost.mydomain.com mail.mydomain.com www.mydomain.com mydomain.com
Thanks in advanced :)
