I have tried many of the threads here but none seem to work. This is a fresh install of Debian and ispconfig 3 following the howto instructions. Any ideas why this would be happening on a fresh install.
There are a lot of reasons that the SMTP service is online, did you take a look at your syslog and mail.log in /var/log? Are there any errors?
Just looks like a bunch of errors from outside the site but I see nothing that I can use as a guide.

That log shows misconfigured e-mail servers trying to send (probably SPAM) to your host. Your host very correctly refuses to deal with them. There is link to e-mail setup tutorial in my signature. Why does your topic say SMTP is offline? Postfix seem to be running on your host since it writes error messages.

Hmm looks like Something is pointing wrong maybe from outside my server, root@server1:~# host the-computerguy.biz the-computerguy.biz has address 50.75.49.117 the-computerguy.biz mail is handled by 10 mail.the-computerguy.biz. root@server1:~# host 50.75.49.117 117.49.75.50.in-addr.arpa domain name pointer woodardcurran.com. root@server1:~#
OK I tried some tests and I am seeing this returned even though I do not have a PTR setup in my DNS Reverse MX A records (PTR) Your reverse (PTR) record: 117.49.75.50.in-addr.arpa -> woodardcurran.com You have reverse (PTR) records for all your IPs, that is a good thing.
Compare what you have in /etc/postfix/master.cf to what the installation guide shows should be there. Most likely your name server is not authoritative for 117.49.75.50.in-addr.arpa so it can not be there. It is probably at your Internet Service Providers name service. Links in my signature to DNS and e-mail setup tutorials.
My Master.cf looks the same unless I missed it, # ========================================================================== # service type private unpriv chroot wakeup maxproc command + args # (yes) (yes) (no) (never) (100) # ========================================================================== submission inet n - - - - smtpd -o syslog_name=postfix/submission -o smtpd_tls_security_level=encrypt -o smtpd_sasl_auth_enable=yes -o smtpd_client_restrictions=permit_sasl_authenticated,reject smtps inet n - - - - smtpd -o syslog_name=postfix/smtps -o smtpd_tls_wrappermode=yes -o smtpd_sasl_auth_enable=yes -o smtpd_client_restrictions=permit_sasl_authenticated,reject #
Is that the complete master.cf? If it is, it really is missing the Code: smtp inet n - y - - smtpd line. Did ypu perhaps remove other lines from master.cf?
Looks like that was commented out by default in the install. Just removed the # but still no go. Here is my compleate file. # # Postfix master process configuration file.

I restarted everything and it looks like it finds the smtp now. mail works but other servers are rejecting emails from my server and I still have one error showing up. Any ideas on these?

Yes and was not running so reset the system and now works, just one error now and other servers are not accepting emails from my servers.
The reason given is You seem to be using IPv6 address for e-mail and PTR record is missing from name service. And it must match the FQDN of that e-mail server. Some explanations in the Tutorials linked to in my signature.
So far you have been very helpful. I have tried to set the ptr up but with no luck. Seems it is only two lines but no matter what I do Gmail keep kicking the mail back to me. Is there something that explains how to setup the ptr record. I have the ispconfig manual but it is real unclear as to what is being done or i am just getting lost with it's 1.2.3.4 explanation.
