Hi,

When you send or receive the mail check
tail -f /var/log/maillog

and paste the error so might can help you.

If you have done proper smtp_auth then mail should be sent.

Still can you check

dig -t mx yourdomain.com

?

As you are getting no route to host ?

Check your firewall settings as well it should allow 25 and 110 port.

Your mx record can not be found.
Is your DNS is registered DNS ? Otherwise you need to get DNS entry to 
some register DNS server.

It is not enough that your server have MX entry, How other people will 
find your mx ?



[root@station253 Desktop]# dig -t mx csmanipur.com
