You can also try through your favorite mail client (thunderbird, etc...) and define your VM-TEST-SERVER as the smtp server for your mail account.

    Hi all,____

    I am configuring mail server on virtual machine for testing. I am
    using centos 5.6 and postfix-2.3.3-2.3.el5_6. I can send without
    problems but I can’t receive mails. I don’t have mx record I tried
    to add to  hosts file but no change. is mx record a must even if I
    am using for testing only?? Is there any alternatives of using mx
    record locally something like hosts file____



Have you tried telnet?

$ telnet ip-of-vm 25

Regards,
Norberto
