Look for obvious signs of trouble
Postfix logs all failed and successful deliveries to a logfile.
The file is usually called /var/log/maillog or /var/log/mail; the
exact pathname is defined in the /etc/syslog.conf file.
When Postfix does not receive or deliver mail, the first order of
business is to look for errors that prevent Postfix from working
properly:
% egrep '(warning|error|fatal|panic):' /some/log/file | more
Note: the most important message is near the BEGINNING of the
output.
