let me clarify real quick. in squirrelmail i can send myself and email to jdone@mydomain.com and to mypersonalemail@gmail.com.
Then to test I tried sending mail from mypersonalemail@gmail.com TO jdone@mydomain.com and I do not see anything in my squirrelmail inbox. No mailer-daemon messages either.

where do you find dovecots debug file ? I enabled: mail_debug = yes in my dovecot.conf file....i just cannot find where the debug is. I checked in /var/mail where the mail is routed, but not there.
made sure the firewall has Mail (SMTP) enabled, but telnet is not - do I need to enable that one?

ok, it's apparent that when I send mydomain.com an e-mail from outside the domain it is not reaching the server or something.
below is two checks - first was when i sent from outside the domain, second is from within domain (the one I would get) and both outputs are the same....

Well, since the windows server 2k3 worked, then it must be a firewall issue on the linux machine. Is there a command to shut down the firewall for testing purposes ?

any suggestions on how to boil that down?
network issue ? - i have ports 25,110,143 forwarded to this machine on my router (worked fine w/windows server & windows server is turned off)
DNS settings are what my ISP provided and they worked fine w/windows
