Hello,
I have just moved a site to a VPS and configured Postfix and Dovecot.
I have also updated the MX record for my domain.
I can send emails from the VPS but cannot receive any emails.
I asked my host and they say "You will need to enable DKIM/SPF and
enable
PTR/RDNS"
This makes them seem quite clueless, or perhaps as if they did not
understand your problem. Whether or not you pay any attention to DKIM
and/or SPF on inbound mail is a private choice and should be beyond
their ability to check. Whether or not your VPS has an IP address with a
PTR record (sometimes called "Reverse DNS") is probably under their
control (i.e. not yours) and should not have any connection to whether
or not you can receive email. However, it is not entirely unreasonable
for a hosting provider to recommend or ever require that customers
publish DNS records for SPF and DKIM which can be used to validate their
outbound mail and provide a legitimate name for a PTR record in order to
*send* mail from a VPS.
I dont know what to do next.
Do what your first message from this list told you to do. See
http://www.postfix.org/DEBUG_README.html#mail
Please assist.
That isn't possible, because you haven't provided any useful information
about your problem. The possible reasons you are not receiving mail are
not quite infinite, but useful limits of what *might* be wrong are
undefined...
