Hello!!

I have postfix running on my Mandrake 8.1 linux box.
I can send mail from linux to the ouside world
but I can't receive from outside into my linux users mailboxes
I don't know how to tell postfix about the relay thing.
Here I have an example of a bounced mail intended to be sent from Yahoo! Mail to my linux box, but it didn't go thru... :-(

I quote from Yahoo! Mail:

Note that I have the domain registered and I've generated an DNS entry at for foobar.net. In addition, I registered another DNS entry for the MX mail.foobar.net
