setup Mailserver

Hi

I try to setup a mailserver with Postfix and Dovecot.

I found some tutorials:

https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Postfix
https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Dovecot
https://www.digitalocean.com/community/ … th-dovecot
https://skrilnetz.net/?page_id=213
http://cnedelcu.blogspot.de/2014/01/how … linux.html

I can't get it working.

At the moment I have it configured like in the Arch Wiki (links above) without SSL.  (but I would like to use SSL later...)
But I cannot send/recive any e-mail.

Please tell me if you need more information

I hope someone can help me.

edit:
here is the log of postfix:

in Dovecot I get only SSL-Errors. (maybe because I tried to send from a SSL-Mail)

and the configuration of postfix:

in Dovecot I only changed it like in the wiki

Re: setup Mailserver

Setting up an email server is *not* easy/trivial and can not be done in "5 easy steps". Any guide that claims so is full of bs. It is far from trivial to *correctly* set up a email server that won't instantly turn into a spam relay or end up blacklisted. Here is a slightly less horrible guide:
