Honestly, tempted to uninstall dovecot, sasl and postfix and start
again, but I don't want to run into the same issues with conflicting
tutorials. Does anyone know of a good source of how to do this that's
fairly recent? I'll keep searching, but all of the outdated info is
kind of frustrating.


If anyone has replied to me I haven't gotten it yet, so I'm not
ignoring anything you may have said. For now going to give this a
break. I've been working on it literally all day! :)

I guess the first thing is to test dovecot is working properly
https://wiki.dovecot.org/TestInstallation
then you use dovecot as mail delivery agent
