Problems and solution(Solution that worked for me)
...bounced (mail for example.com loops back to myself)...
Possible Solution : https://www.howtoforge.com/postfix-mail-for-example.com-loops-back-to-myself
...status=bounced (unknown user: "sandeep")...
Possible Solution : You will get this If you set /etc/postfix/main.cf
mydestination = localhost.$mydomain, localhost, mail.$mydomain, $mydomain
change it to
mydestination = localhost
...mail dovecot: lmtp(12873): Fatal: Error reading configuration: Invalid settings: postmaster_address setting not given...
Possible Solution : In /etc/dovecot/dovecot.conf
postmaster_address=postmaster at <domain name like example.com>
...is neither permitted nor denied by best guess record for domain of <email>@<domain name>...
Possible Solution : Needed to setup SPF as defined in https://www.mail-tester.com/spf/linode
...Our system has detected that this 550-5.7.1 message does not meet IPv6 sending guidelines regarding PTR records 550-5.7.1 and authentication. Please review 550-5.7.1 https://support.google.com/mail/?p=ipv6_authentication_error...
Possible Solution : Not know skipping ipv6 is a good option/solution but the alternative find is that in /etc/postfix/main.cf
change
inet_protocols = all
to
inet_protocols = ipv4
...Not recieving any mail from another domain or even getting log in mail log...
Possible Solution : Enable ports in iptables
iptables -A INPUT -p tcp --dport 25 -m state --state NEW -j ACCEPT
iptables -A INPUT -p tcp --dport 465 -m state --state NEW -j ACCEPT
iptables -A INPUT -p tcp --dport 587 -m state --state NEW -j ACCEPT
iptables -A INPUT -p tcp --dport 110 -m state --state NEW -j ACCEPT
iptables -A INPUT -p tcp --dport 995 -m state --state NEW -j ACCEPT
iptables -A INPUT -p tcp --dport 143 -m state --state NEW -j ACCEPT
iptables -A INPUT -p tcp --dport 993 -m state --state NEW -j ACCEPT
...Squirrelmail load_config fatal error for change_sqlpass...
Possible Solution : change_sqlpass is dependent of compitability plugin.Search it and install that plugin in Squirrelmail
...connect to localhost[private/dovecot-lmtp]: Connection refused...
Possible Solution : Check in /etc/postfix/main.cf for virtual transport
and also check /etc/dovecot/conf.d/10-master.conf configuration
