Hello,

I have followed the guides in Linode https://library.linode.com/mailserver and https://library.linode.com/email/postfix/postfix2.9.6-dovecot2.0.19-mysql to build an email server and the installation went fine.

Now when I connect to the Outlook, I am able to log into POP3 SSL(995) port. But unfortunately when I send email from my gmail address to my domain email at the email server, I didn't get anything and the send process fails.

May I know please how to receive emails into the email server into Outlook? I am beginner and I don't have experience with email server but I followed the instruction 100% and revised them.

The firewall settings are opening necessary ports for the email server.

Also in /var/log/mail.log, I don't see error messages. I get something like the below (I replaced my domain with example.com):

Jul 6 13:51:17 jordan dovecot: auth-worker: mysql(127.0.0.1): Connected to database mailserver
Jul 6 13:51:17 jordan dovecot: pop3-login: Login: user=<test@example.com>, method=PLAIN, rip=92.241.39.125, lip=67.218.12.72, mpid=13045, TLS
Jul 6 13:51:17 jordan dovecot: pop3(test@example.com): Disconnected: Logged out top=0/0, retr=0/0, del=0/0, size=0

I do greatly appreciate your hints to be able to receive emails.

Thanks.

What error are you getting when you send email from your Gmail account?
