postfix sending but not recieving

Hi all,

I just setup postfix on my server thats running Centos 5.x with webmin. Now I can send email out of the server but I cant receive email. Server side I can telnet into the 110 and 25 port but coming from the outside of the box I can only telnet into the 110 port but not port 25. The server is behind a router and I checked the firewall of the router to make sure it was allowing port 25 connections and it was. Is it possible I have my MX record not set right?

It's more likely that your daemon is listening on localhost instead of the external interface.
