I tried setting up Postfix 2.10/Dovecot 2.2 email server for my domain on my CentOS 7 VPS, but I have met my match and must defer to the internet. I am using Nginx and MariaDB with PostfixAdmin, and will be using Roundcube for webmail (but first things first). Postfix is using virtual mailboxes, stored in /var/www/mail/vmail.
I must confess that in my search for help I have visited quite literally scores of sites, and my configuration files may have degenerated into what might now be nonsensical in places; apologies in advance.
I'm getting error status deferred when I try to send a mail with sudo echo Subject: sendmail test" | sendmail -v recipient@verizon.net. I can post the other /etc/dovecot/conf.d/ logs if need be.
