Your receiving mail, but don't want to be? I'm a little confused. Where are you getting this error?

1. Did you CONFIGURE your mail server?
2. Is your MX record pointing to the mail server?

In /etc/postfix/main.cf, make sure you have this...

inet_interfaces=all

By default, its set to localhost, which won't accept mail from any other hosts.
