POP SERVER PROBLEM IN REDHAT

Dear all,

Under Redhat 8.0, the POP server was intalled years ago. Recently, I find
that I can receive other email from local acount, but not from other domain.
Why? Note that the pop3 server is ready when I check by using telnet
xxx.xx.xxx.xxx 110.
Welcome for any of your help.

Regards,
Simon

POP (Post Office Protocol) is only a protocol for retrieving local mail.
Receiving mail from other machines/domains requires a properly-configured
MTA (Mail Transport Agent) which generally employs SMTP (Simple Mail
Transport Protocol).

Many common MTAs are freely available, such as sendmail, Exim and Postfix.

Dear all,

I mean that other emails cannot be reached my server, and the senders do not
receive any undelivered message.
What wrong on my email server? Please help me, thanks

Regards,
Simon

Is there an MX record defined on your name server?
