    I’ve been tailing /var/log/iredapd.log and all it tells me is:

    2014-09-03 06:54:47 INFO [127.0.0.1] webmaster@myDomain.com -> user@example.com, DUNNO

    where webmaster@myDomain.com is a real email address (created via Iredadmin) and user@example.com is a working email.

    Note that all the virtual hosts have MX records.

    From the documentation shared, one bit that didn’t work right away was setting “your first virtual domain name”. The print screen stats that the hostname cannot be used!!!!!! (if you do it 2 times it lets up pass).
    For my 2nd attempt (different node), I’ve used a different domain with the same results.

    Any thoughts?

Have you correctly set up a MX record and TXT record (for your dkim key) for the domain?

The mail log would be a good place to start looking, assuming that is where errors are being logged. The name will probably vary depending on distribution and whose installer you use, but most such logs end up in /var/log/. Running tail -f on the log and watching what gets logged as you try to send a message can be very helpful when troubleshooting such problems because even if there aren't any errors, you can track the progress of the process and see where to start looking.

Is a DMARC txt file essential? Some domain registrars charge a lot more for this service.
