You should really edit the previous answer rather than posting a new answer (in fact you should put both of your answers into the question - maybe marked as an EDIT or as a SOLUTION).

configure your postfix to relay to your ISP's email server.

include in your main.cf file (normally found at /etc/postfix) the parameter:

relayhost = [your_isp's_smtp_relay]

your ISP may receive your relays without problem since you are a registered user. but if smtp authentication is required, check http://www.postfix.org/SASL_README.html#client_sasl to configure your postfix to authenticate properly during relaying.

hope this helps.

First things to do: check if MX records are correct(and mailserver can access working DNS server), if your mailserver external IP is static, if you have connections from/to when sending/receiving. Logs can tell much too.

1) You required reverse dns for your domain .Because all the reputed mail server will check that,If it's not available that assume this a spam generator. So just crate MX record and reverse DNS for your domain.

2)run the below mentioned command and check the log .As well here share that through that we can reach success .

tail -f /var/log/maillog

Check firewall settings, connecting 67.195.168.230:25 works for me even from dynamic IP.
