    I have an Ubuntu 20.04.6 TLS server with ISPConfig Version: 3.2 and many websites installed. I set up Postfix with an SMTP relay service (Mailgun). After I reboot my server, the SMTP-Server stops working and ports 25 and 465 are not reachable. When I try to send an email from Roundcube, I get the following error:
    Code:
    SMTP Error (-1): Connection to server failed.
    I run
    Code:
    service postfix status
    and this is the output:

    Code:
    ● postfix.service - Postfix Mail Transport Agent
         Loaded: loaded (/lib/systemd/system/postfix.service; enabled; vendor preset: enabled)
         Active: active (exited) since Mon 2024-05-06 03:35:54 -04; 45min ago
        Process: 1956 ExecStart=/bin/true (code=exited, status=0/SUCCESS)
       Main PID: 1956 (code=exited, status=0/SUCCESS)
    
    may 06 03:35:54 servidor1 systemd[1]: Starting Postfix Mail Transport Agent...
    may 06 03:35:54 servidor1 systemd[1]: Finished Postfix Mail Transport Agent.
    Then if I restart postfix it works again. Why is that?

    How can I check the Postfix log?

    On the other hand, after reboot if I run
    Code:
    postfix status
    I get
    Code:
    postfix/postfix-script: the Postfix mail system is not running
    But if I restart Postfix it starts running again. Is there a way to restart Postfix automatically on every reboot?

    /var/log/mail.log

    Code:
    systemctl enable postfix

    This is what I see on the log file when I reboot the OS:

    Code:
    Aug  7 00:16:17 servidor1 postfix[1514]: Postfix is running with backwards-compatible default settings
    Aug  7 00:16:17 servidor1 postfix[1514]: See http://www.postfix.org/COMPATIBILITY_README.html for details
    Aug  7 00:16:17 servidor1 postfix[1514]: To disable backwards compatibility use "postconf compatibility_level=2" and "postfix reload
    Aug  7 00:37:36 servidor1 postfix/postqueue[5295]: warning: Mail system is down -- accessing queue directly"
    And this is what I see when I restart Postfix:

    Code:

    Did you enable postfix now so that it starts after reboot?

    Yes, I tried using:

    Code:
    systemctl enable postfix
    But it's still not running after reboot.
