I’m trying to setup postfix and devcot on centos 6. I managed to get ssl certs done, and i can send mails to others but i cant receive them. Also i changed my PTR record on droplet but my mails when somebody recive them still have cname and not A name just. I followed few articles and guides on web but well I’m not good enough to get it work well. Any help is welcome, thank you.

You need to perform some basic troubleshooting. No one is going to be able to assist you with such a limited amount of information, especially regarding email configuration which is complex and has a large amount of configuration options. First, check the Postfix/Dovecot log files for a hint (/var/logs/mail.log).
I think i did good config of Postfix files, cant never be sure 100% but dovecot conf files just eludes me. I think there is a problem and i cant find a solution for that.
As I said look at the logs and do some basic troubleshooting. No one is going to help you when you have provided no details. I suggest reading this article - https://library.linode.com/email/postfix/troubleshooting. <br>
