e-mail configuration problem

e-mail configuration problem

[gerardo juarez-mondragon]

I'm having a strange problem with a server. The
system is a RH7.3. It is configured as a DNS
server, with the intention of hosting several
domains, web pages, etc. DNS seems to be OK,
since I already succeded in registering one
domain. I can ping, ssh into it and see the web
page, as well as the control page through http. 

The e-mail accounts were created and the domain
(the one registered above) is in the
/etc/mail/local_host_names. The problem is my
e-mails can go out, but no replies get in. Any ideas?

Thanks in advance,
Gerardo Juarez

what do your mail logs say about the incoming mail?

... ciao:

    doing a 'dig metacrawler.com mx' offers:

;; ANSWER SECTION:
metacrawler.com.        5M IN MX    20 metacrawlersmtp0.prontomail.com.
metacrawler.com.        5M IN MX    10 metacrawlersmtp1.prontomail.com.

    it would appear you are not running smtp for your domain.  if that
the case, it might be your responsibility to fetch it ...
