Error: "TLS not available due to local problem" Postfix
Hi! I’ve spent a while now attempting to setup a mail server using postfix on my droplet running ubuntu. I have pretty much finished however I constantly get weird errors every time I send an email on my mail server. The error is as follows:
Transcript of session follows.

Here is my postfix config:
myhostname = mail.pikadude.me
myorigin = /etc/mailname
mydestination = mail.pikadude.me, pikadude.me, localhost, localhost.localdomain
relayhost =
mynetworks = 127.0.0.0/8 [::ffff:127.0.0.0]/104 [::1]/128
mailbox_size_limit = 0
recipient_delimiter = +
inet_interfaces = all
alias_maps = hash:/etc/aliases
alias_database = hash:/etc/aliases
smtpd_tls_cert_file=/etc/ssl/certs/mailcert.pem
smtpd_tls_key_file=/etc/ssl/private/mail.key
smtpd_use_tls=yes
smtpd_tls_session_cache_database = btree:${data_directory}/smtpd_scache
smtp_tls_session_cache_database = btree:${data_directory}/smtp_scache
smtpd_tls_security_level=may
#smtpd_tls_protocols = !SSLv2,!TLSv1,!TLSv1.1,!SSLv3
local_recipient_maps = proxy:unix:passwd.byname $alias_maps
smtp_tls_security_level = encrypt
#smtp_tls_mandatory_protocols = !SSLv2,!SSLv3,!TLSv1,!TLSv1.1
I am unsure why this is happening. If anything else is required please let me know.
