Did you only search for warnings? http://www.postfix.org/DEBUG_README.html#logging says: When Postfix does not receive or deliver mail, the first order of business is to look for errors that prevent Postfix from working properly: % *egrep '(warning|error|fatal|panic):' /some/log/file | more* Note: the most important message is near the BEGINNING of the output. Error messages that come later are less useful. > Here is my postconf -n: > > alias_database = hash:/etc/aliases > alias_maps = hash:/etc/aliases > command_directory = /usr/sbin > config_directory = /etc/postfix > daemon_directory = /usr/libexec/postfix > debug_peer_level = 2 > html_directory = no > in_flow_delay = 10s > inet_interfaces = localhost > mail_owner = postfix > mailq_path = /usr/bin/mailq.postfix > manpage_directory = /usr/share/man > mydestination = $myhostname, localhost.$mydomain, localhost > mydomain = usaepay.com <http://usaepay.com> > myorigin = $mydomain > newaliases_path = /usr/bin/newaliases.postfix > queue_directory = /var/spool/postfix > readme_directory = /usr/share/doc/postfix-2.3.3/README_FILES > relayhost = 192.168.x.x > sample_directory = /usr/share/doc/postfix-2.3.3/samples > sendmail_path = /usr/sbin/sendmail.postfix > setgid_group = postdrop > unknown_local_recipient_reject_code = 550 > > Can anyone please help??
