Postfix, not receiving mail

[Matthew Carpenter]

-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE-----
Hash: SHA1

In main.cf:
mydomain = <your domainname>

for mine:
mydomain = eisgr.com

then, anything sent to a user @eisgr.com is queued for local delivery
(instead of relaying)

| No, I don't want to relay through this box, I just want to receive mail
| on this box (for a local user) - I am just trying what my NT Admin tells
| me to do.  When it comes to mail, I am out of my depth - still trying to
| understand the whole thing.
|
| I know that port 25 is open, and that I can connect to it, but something
| is blocking me on the Linux server (rejecting the e-mail)
