can't recieve/retrieve mail on webmaster account

[pitsug]

anyone knows why i can't recieve/retrieve mails using webmaster account on my squirrelmail. everytime i send a test mail message for that account (webmaster@mydomain.com) my email message always goes to my root account.

but my other local users on my server normally can send/retrieve mails using squirrelmail webmail. my setup is very basic and no idea what's going on with my mail server setup.

im using Postfix with Dovecot install on CentOS 4.3

It could be one of two reasons. Your isp may be blocking port 25, or you don't have port 25 open on your server or router.

i properly configure my smtp running on centos-4. my only problem is that only webmaster acct i have created wasnt able to recieve/retrieve mail, my message directly sent to root acct which i cannot login to my squirrelmail to retrieve mails. i have read some that it might be "cacthall" something which i really dont understand.

Ah ok I get it now. I really wasn't understanding before. Just use webmin to forward any email sent to root to your email address. I have my server set up so anytime I get a root email it forwards to my comcast email address.

but is it possible to access my webmin to any browser on my local network? i used to configure my server using ssh and dont have a graphical interface for my box.. or how could i do it in a command line i've seen working on ".forward" to forward mails.

i have tried installing webmin a couple of week ago but no luck accessing it on my local network

thank u for the patience

Make sure that port 10000 is open by default or if you set it to another make, check if this one isn't blocked by your firewall.

every time i send a test mail message for that account my email message always goes to my root account
