Sendmail Server Not receiving mail

L

Lego

Okay, I decided to wipe my drive and install FreeBSD 8.0 and setup everything again, and all is well except incoming mail, outgoing is working fine! Im confused as to what is going on so I'll post all the information I find relevant and hopefully someone can point out what I've done wrong, its just a purely basic setup at this point no spam assassin/clamav/procmail/imap. Just webmin to check the mail boxes and compose. My ISP assures me no policy changes have been made so my port 25 is NOT blocked or being filtered.

used these guys to verify port http://www.t1shopper.com/tools/port-scan/
results:
Code: 
Scanning ports on 216.8.128.181

216.8.128.181 is responding on port 25 (smtp).

Code: 
blurr-ink# sockstat -l4 -p 25
USER     COMMAND    PID   FD PROTO  LOCAL ADDRESS         FOREIGN ADDRESS
root     sendmail   1302  3  tcp4   *:25                  *:*

blurr-ink# netstat -an|grep \\.25
tcp6       0      0 *.25                   *.*                    LISTEN
tcp4       0      0 *.25                   *.*                    LISTEN

blurr-ink# sendmail -bv admin@blurr-ink.com
admin@blurr-ink.com... deliverable: mailer local, user admin

I have been able to Send mail locally (from root to admin), and I have been able to send out to hotmail and yahoo server. But I never receive the incoming mail.

DNS:

; Aliases

aliases is default except root : admin (so all mail goes to admin)

local-host-names
Code: 
localhost
blurr-ink.com
mx.blurr-ink.com

virtusertable
Code: 
lego@blurr-ink.com       admin
postmaster@mx.blurr-ink.com    admin

Any Ideas?
 
Nobody will be able to send you mail to 192.168.0.194, the address of your Mail eXchanger. Private adresses like 192.168.0.194 are not routable on the internet ;)
 
lol, sorry forgot to mention... that's an internal ip.. the external ip is forwarded to the server....and corresponding ports. that's not the issue... It's always been setup that way.
