I have goDaddy Domain with this dns record

a @ 107.150.xx.xx 600 seconds Edit
cname email email.secureserver.net 1 Hour Edit
cname ftp @ 1 Hour Edit
cname www @ 1 Hour Edit
mx @ mailstore1.secureserver.net (Priority: 10) 1 Hour Edit
mx @ smtp.secureserver.net (Priority: 1) 1 Hour Edit
ns @ ns21.domaincontrol.com 1 Hour
ns @ ns22.domaincontrol.com 1 Hour


as you can see the domain is pointing to a vps with postfix installed
(this vps is for web server and email server). I've setup the postfix
(via webmin) and successfully sending email, but when i tried to send
email from hotmail to my server, it doesn't receiving, and no error in /var/log/maillog

i'm suspecting there's something in the dns that i need to configure

can somebody pin point it for me? thanks

The 'A' record means nothing as far as mail is concerned.

The 'MX' record takes care of directing emails.

Your emails from your hotmail account are being sent to 'mailstore1.secureserver.net'.

If your email addresses are not setup within GoDaddy's system then they are likely just getting dropped.

To solve your issue change your 'MX' record to match the server where your email server is. (Using your provided info this would be the IP you have listed in the A record)
