Thank you for all your help Joe. I’ll look into it.
O.K. usr/sbin/postconf, I can’t edit and master.cf has these parameters:
# -o syslog_name=postfix/submission
# -o smtpd_tls_security_level=encrypt
# -o smtpd_sasl_auth_enable=yes
# -o smtpd_reject_unlisted_recipient=no
# -o smtpd_client_restrictions=$mua_client_restrictions
# -o smtpd_helo_restrictions=$mua_helo_restrictions
# -o smtpd_sender_restrictions=$mua_sender_restrictions
# -o smtpd_recipient_restrictions=permit_sasl_authenticated,reject
# -o milter_macro_daemon_name=ORIGINATING
No spaces
Is that literally the entire config file? Because that’s nonsensical. It literally does nothing (that’s nothing but comments).
A default master.cf looks something like this:
#
# Postfix master process configuration file. For details on the format
# of the file, see the master(5) manual page (command: "man 5 master" or
# on-line: http://www.postfix.org/master.5.html).

Please start another topic for Dovecot problems. Dovecot and Postfix are not related (except in that they both deal with mail…but Dovecot cannot be involved in a failure to send mail).
TY Joe. I think I pinpointed it to this:
Failed to open /etc/ssl/private/dovecot.pem for writing : No such file or directory
Dovecot fails to start because of it. Postfix is sending email normally, but now not receiving because of Dovecot.
Hi
Please go to /etc/postfix and check if you have git revisions there:
git diff --stat HEAD~
5
HEAD
This should give you 5 last changes on the Postfix files. Last time I had similar situation and had to restore config files from git. They were wipe out after some update
Thank you. I actually created the folder manually and requested another cert. It worked. My issue now is that, no matter how I configure Postfix, I can’t get it to receive mail from the outside and the local mail is stuck in queue. What a mission this has been…
