Hi,
I am having one heck of a time setting up basic email service with this server.
Currently using postfix.
Emails stay in queue forever, and if I force them I get
Forcing the attempted delivery of mail with the command postqueue -c /etc/postfix -f …
postqueue: warning: unable to look up public/qmgr: No such file or directory postqueue: fatal: Cannot flush mail queue - mail system is down
Turned off the ufw firewall for this testing so I know it’s not the firewall.
Thanks

I used this one : https://www.digitalocean.com/community/tutorials/how-to-install-and-setup-postfix-on-ubuntu-14-04
Should I be using another? What I would like is to have php be able to send mail to customers and wordpress to be able to email out passwords and such.
Thanks
@yorkdigitalsolutions - You have both sendmail and postfix installed and active. You need to disable sendmail for postfix to work.
