ive been working on a mail server for my linux box. i do not want to use my ISPs mail server to send and receive mail. my isp does allow me to have smtp,pop and imap ports open. i have no issue setting up postfix and smtpd authentication, however, i feel i dont know enough about how email works to get it working properly.
first, i have sent emails and received emails. receiving always works, but sending is sporadic. i am told that is because of all the checks mail servers like yahoo and msn have to filter out spam. what do i need to know about global mail networks to get my system up and running flawlessly?

so now i can receive emails from yahoo but i can no longer send them to yahoo. so the reverse has just happened now. i have a feeling in an hour though it will arrive at the yahoo inbox. the logs say that yahoo simply refuses connections from my servers IP but eventually make it through hours later. i think my problem now is in my postfix setup.
