More information would be helpful to troubleshoot this.  Try sending
output from:

postfix status

mailq

Try telnetting to your smtp server and sending a message like this from
the local system:
substitute a valid user/domain on the mail from line and a valid email
address in your domain
on the rcpt to line. Do this, logged onto the mailserver.

telnet localhost 25
helo mydomain.com (substitute a valid domain here)
mail from: <someuser at validdomain.com>
rcpt to: <youremailaddress at yourdomain.com>
data
From: someuser at validdomain.com
to: youremailaddress at yourdomain.com
subject: test

This is a test mesage
.

note: blank line between mail headers and body

end data with line containing only '.'.

Then check your maillog and send the output to the list.

postfix status:

postfix/postfix-script: the Postfix mail system is running: PID 5936

mailq: Mail queue is empty

Did the telnet localhost 25, it answered but not sure I understood you
what I needed to do.

Thanks!!
