Make sure no mail server and http server is running. Otherwise stop them and disable or uninstall them.

Make sure SELINUX is disabled. By default it is disabled on CentOS 6.5. To confirm it, check using getforce

$ getenforce

$ cat /etc/sysconfig/selinux

# This file controls the state of SELinux on the system.

# SELINUX= can take one of these three values:

# enforcing - SELinux security policy is enforced.

# permissive - SELinux prints warnings instead of enforcing.

# disabled - SELinux is fully disabled.

SELINUX=disabled

# SELINUXTYPE= type of policy in use. Possible values are:

# targeted - Only targeted network daemons are protected.

# strict - Full SELinux protection.

SELINUXTYPE=targeted

Stop and Disable Postfix and Iptables

$ service postfix stop

$ service ip6tables stop

$ service iptables stop

$ chkconfig postfix off

$ chkconfig ip6tables off

$ chkconfig iptables off

Make sure that domain name is set in correct format at /etc/hosts file. The format is:

ip_address server.domain.com server

Also set the hostname at /etc/sysconfig/network and also:

$ service network restart

$ hostname server.domain.com

Make sure you have proper MX record configured for your domain

# host -t mx server.domain.com

server.domain.com mail is handled by 10 server.domain.com.
