I am still not receiving any mail when i send to xxx at myipaddr though, I
also checked out that site and created a domain, thanx that is pretty
cool, anywayz I have hardware filewall (my router) to send anything from
port 25 to me 192.168.2.4, and also in fedora port 25 is open as well
sendmail is definatly running to because I can send via sendmail in
terminal.  Any ideas?  I am stumped.  Also I have just left dovcot alone
right now just working on getting sendmail to work, I just check
/var/mail/xxx, also I can send everything local to, like if i were to
send from UID 500 i can use sendmail to send to UID 502 and that works
fine.  From hotmail though if i send it doesnt seem to ever arrive.
though i never recieve delivery status notice like i usually do on
hotmail if something doesn't get to proper destination
