I have installed Postfix on my server with DNS. I am not sure what information I should provide here so let me explain the setup and goals.
I have SuSE Enterprise 9, Apache, Static IP address. In other words a hosted website/server. The goal is to also have this as a mail server.
I am able to send emails to certain addresses like hotmail, but not others. I am also able to send to a local email address. I am not able to receive amything.
In the failure header of trying to send to the postfix address:

Can someone please tell me why my log is filling up with this. Looks like the queue is trying to send email with the TO: "unknown"?
This started when I uncommented the pop3b in the inetd config. I might add this is more activity than before.
