I'm trying to receive only, not send, e-mail, using dovecot-postfix.  I 
think I have the mx record setup correctly:

thufir at dur:~$ 
thufir at dur:~$ dig dur.bounceme.net mx

; <<>> DiG 9.9.3-rpz2+rl.13214.22-P2-Ubuntu-1:9.9.3.dfsg.P2-4ubuntu1 <<>> 
dur.bounceme.net mx

Non-authoritative answer:
dur.bounceme.net	mail exchanger = 5 dur.bounceme.net.

Authoritative answers can be found from:

thufir at dur:~$ 
thufir at dur:~$ nslookup dur.bounceme.net
Server:		127.0.1.1
Address:	127.0.1.1#53

Non-authoritative answer:
Name:	dur.bounceme.net

thufir at dur:~$ 
thufir at dur:~$ 


and can send e-mail locally to myself.  I want to receive e-mails from 
the internet, however.  I don't anticipate a need to send e-mail, and 
don't want to re-send e-mail.

looking at:

http://www.anta.net/misc/telnet-troubleshooting/smtp.shtml

my setup looks ok:

thufir at dur:~$ 
thufir at dur:~$ nslookup dur.bounceme.net
Server:		127.0.1.1
Address:	127.0.1.1#53

at least so far as I can tell.  Why do messages to thufir at dur.bounceme.net 
bounce?  They should come through from gmail within a few minutes, I 
would think, but they never do.


thanks,

thufir
