No actually it receives mail from the internet fine, from what I can see in
the logs it looks like the outbound queue /var/spool/postfix is bouncing the
message back after it makes it through the inbound queue

For the outbound queue, these are set as follows

> $relay_domains

relay_domains =

even with relay_domains = $mydestination the result is the same.

mydestination = $myhostname, localhost.$mydomain, $mydomain

mynetworks was not explicitly set since, I have the following set

mynetworks_style = subnet

example of a message sent through the mailscanner box, from
/var/log/mail/info
