Hi, Jonathan,

I got to tell you what the problems are:

I can send out email ( outbound) to anyone and I receive email through
only my email server ns1.infosavvytech.new.net which is my personal mail
server that I am planning to work on.

The person who gave me a comment checking
telnet mydomainname.com 25
I got a error.

This tells me that I have a domain name problem (FQDN).
I strongly believe that my local system has a problem
in regards to my domain name.

Here's the portion of my /etc/named.conf file:

- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - --
zone "infosavvy.tech.new.net" {
        type master;
        file "named_infosavvytech.hosts";
}
- - - - - - - - - - - - -- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -- - - - - - - -

and zone file above /var/named/named_infosavvytech.hosts looks like this:
- -- -- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -
 - - - - -
;
;
@ 86400 IN SOA ns1.infosavvy.tech.new.net. joecho.everestkc.net. (
                200302064 ; serial
                1H ; refresh
                5M ; retry
                1W ; expiry
                1H ) ; minium
@ 86400 IN NS ns1.infosavvy.tech.new.net.
@ 86400 IN NS ns2.infosavvy.tech.new.net.
@ 86400 IN MX 10 mail.infosavvy.tech.new.net.

ns1 IN A 64.126.95.212
ns2 IN A 64.126.95.212
www IN A 64.126.95.212
mail IN A 64.126.95.212
infosavvy.tech.new.net. IN CNAME ns1.infosavvy.tech.new.net.
infosavvy.tech. IN CNAME ns1.infosavvy.tech.new.net.

--- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -
- - - - -

Of course there are a couple of files I need to check for dns services like

/etc/defaultdomain
/etc/resolv.conf
/etc/nsswitch.conf
/etc/netmasks
among others.

but they looks ok to me.

any suggestions???

He may be talking about outbound mail, I really didn't understand exactly
what
he wanted either, but if he's trying to get outbound from him@mydomain.com
instead of him@server.myname.com he needs to use the Masquerade option (I
think). (I actuallly got it working to send out from multiple virtual
domains,
but I couldn't tell you exactly how.)
