Cannot contect to mail server

I came across an error that I may of forgotten to do while reading the tutorial, I can see how easy it is to miss things.

my error was

my $POSTFIX_CF = "/etc/postfix/main.cf";
my $MAILPROG = "/usr/sbin/sendmail -t";
my $WARNPERCENT = 80;
my @POSTMASTERS = ('[email protected]');
my $CONAME = 'ISP.tld';
my $COADDR = '[email protected]';
my $SUADDR = '[email protected]';
my $MAIL_REPORT = 1;
my $MAIL_WARNING = 1;

I for got to change the lines in red.
