My outgoing emails are under queue and not being sent.

How to set them up so they can be sent right away?

Howdy -- thanks for contacting us!

What is the output of the command "mailq | tail -10"?

That output should give us some insight into what's going on there.

By default, outgoing email should be sent immediately - unless the remote mailserver is not accepting your email. If you check the mail logs at /var/log/maillog or mail.log, you should see messages indicating why the outgoing email was delayed.

Hello i've reinstalled postfix and followed every guide i could and now the queue issue has been fixed thanks for everything. Now im trying to find out why i cant still send emails with SMTP from localhost forum in this ticket: https://virtualmin.com/node/52768 Sometimes gives me: A test email could not be sent. Check the settings entered are correct or contact your hosting or SMTP provider for more information. - por 587 SSL With TLS: The email could not be sent because the attempt to establish a TLS connection to the SMTP server has failed.
