Hi Eric,
Did finally get a bounce on my test emails saying delivery had been underway for 6 some hours and will keep trying.
But on the new server there’s nothing about these emails coming in on maillog.
I don’t have a procmail.log file in var/log/ should I?
I don’t think it’s dns cache related, I’ve been testing and it seems like I can switch from one server to another by changing the dns and giving it about 10 minutes. I can switch the dns to the old server and emails to to it ok after a short bit. Then if I switch dns to the new server, even after 24 hours emails don’t reach it.
I checked with mxtoolbox and they have it resolving to the correct (new) ip.

As I was working on this, I noticed my system hostname was set to servername.localhost
So I reset that to servername.primarydomain.com in Webmin -> Networking -> Network Configuration -> Hostname and DNS Client.
When I did that, I got this maillog:
Feb 22 15:08:30 jessica postfix/postfix-script[31711]: refreshing the Postfix mail system
Feb 22 15:08:30 jessica postfix/master[878]: reload – version 2.6.6, configuration /etc/postfix
Feb 22 15:08:31 jessica postfix/master[878]: warning: service smtp: ignoring inet_interfaces change

Feb 22 15:08:31 jessica postfix/master[878]: warning: to change inet_interfaces, stop and start Postfix
So I rebooted postfix (webmin/servers/Postfix Mail Server) and that seems to have done the trick, email is working now.
Did the change in the system hostname fix things do you think - or did the postfix server just need a reboot for some reason?
I still don’t have a postfix.log…
Thanks for helping with this Eric, always appreciate your assistance when I get stuck on things -
