Hi Post the error message(s) that you get in the mail log file when the problem occurs. The mail log file is in the folder /var/log/, it is named "mail.log" on Debian and Ubuntu Linux and named "maillog" on other distributions. Br// Srijan
Hello I looked the logs and all are empty. I can see the error when I try to configure Thunderbird with some account. When I want to send email I see this error: Failed sending the message. An error occurred sending mail: it is not possible to establish a secure link with SMTP server using STARTTLS mail.mydomain.com since he claims to have that feature. Try turning off STARTTLS for that server or contact your service provider. Then, I don't know is a thunderbird configuration error or postifx configuration error.
These error seems to be of thunderbird, I will recommend to check it with any other mail-client. May be Evolution will be a good alternate for that. Br// Srijan
