Hello! I'm setting up a Virtualmin + LAMP stack for the first time and everything works fine except for Postfix. It won't listen on port 25. I can login via imaps and send mail but they don't arrive and I can't receive either.
If I add
smtp inet n - y - - smtpd -o smtpd_sasl_auth_enable=yes
to master.cf it listens on port 25 but there are still no mails incoming and mails out still won't arrive
This is my main.cf

25? Thought that was a no go, try 587.

It's not working on 587 either and it's not receiving mails

It's finally working!!
I turned on submission service and I just added 'permit_sasl_authenticated ' to smtpd_recipient_restrictions = permit_mynetworks permit_sasl_authenticated reject_unauth_destination if i remember correctly. I changed the password of two mailboxes and it worked.. what's up with that...?
Well done, loads of issues myself with email and this hosting software.?
