Hello,
Trying to make Postfix do as it should. :) I currently finished setting up Postfix to send through Amazon Simple Email Service. Now I have the following questions.
Here is the main.conf file.
# See /usr/share/postfix/main.cf.dist for a commented, more complete version
# Debian specific: Specifying a file name will cause the first
# line of that file to be used as the name. The Debian default
# is /etc/mailname.
myorigin = domain.com
smtpd_banner = $myhostname ESMTP $mail_name (Ubuntu)
biff = no
# appending .domain is the MUA's job.
append_dot_mydomain = no
# Uncomment the next line to generate "delayed mail" warnings
#delay_warning_time = 4h
readme_directory = no
# TLS parameters
smtpd_tls_cert_file=/etc/ssl/certs/ssl-cert-snakeoil.pem
smtpd_tls_key_file=/etc/ssl/private/ssl-cert-snakeoil.key
smtpd_use_tls=yes
smtp_tls_note_starttls_offer = yes
smtpd_tls_session_cache_database = btree:${data_directory}/smtpd_scache
smtp_tls_session_cache_database = btree:${data_directory}/smtp_scache
# See /usr/share/doc/postfix/TLS_README.gz in the postfix-doc package for
# information on enabling SSL in the smtp client.
smtpd_relay_restrictions = permit_mynetworks permit_sasl_authenticated defer_unauth_destination
myhostname = domain.com
alias_maps = hash:/etc/aliases
alias_database = hash:/etc/aliases
myorigin = domain.com
mydestination = $myhostname localhost.$mydomain localhost
relayhost = 127.0.0.1:2525
smtp_sasl_auth_enable = yes
smtp_sasl_security_options = noanonymous
smtp_tls_security_level = may
smtp_sasl_password_maps = hash:/etc/postfix/sasl_passwd
mynetworks = 127.0.0.0/8 [::ffff:127.0.0.0]/104 [::1]/128
mailbox_size_limit = 0
recipient_delimiter = +
inet_interfaces = all
inet_protocols = all
home_mailbox = Maildir/
virtual_alias_maps = hash:/etc/postfix/virtual
smtp_tls_CAfile = /etc/ssl/certs/ca-certificates.crt
If it helps, this is the article I used to set up the SES integration. http://docs.aws.amazon.com/ses/latest/DeveloperGuide/postfix.html
Running Ubuntu 16.04 on Nginx.
Thanks for any help.

After much messing around with this issue, I finally figured it out. Lots of config changes that needed to be made which I won’t detail here, every setup seems to be different. When in doubt, just keep messing with it. You’ll eventually find a way to fix your mail sending.
