Sent messages disappear and don't arrive. (Receiving is ok)
Hi List,
I'm running an email server (Postfix, Dovecot, MySQL) on an RPi. I set it up using this 'howto' https://pestmeester.nl/index.html#11.0. It seemed to work but now sent emails just disappear and are not received. Inward emails are ok.
I'm a Linux and Postfix Dovecot learner so please treat me as not being very knowledgeable. I'm not even sure if this is a Postfix or Dovecot issue so I've posted to both. (Nothing from Postfix so far!)
I've tried to include what relevant info I thought a helper might need but if I've missed something please let me know.
I'll appreciate any help.
TIA,
John

You will need to look in your postfix logs to see what is happening to outbound mails.
If you are on a home connection, most ISPs do not allow mail servers.

Check the postfix queue, I ran sendmail servers for a number of years. I don’t know anything about postfix but I would try that if your mails cannot be sent.
