Unable to send email SMTP Error

Please i need help!

I was trying to setup SMTP for my server, then i run into SMTP error. I have 3 other virtual domains running on my server (CentOS 7).

postfix mail_version 3.4.6

My SMTP ports 25 and 587 are open and there are no blocks preventing mail, but my emails are not going through and I get SMTP errors message.

Here is the output of /var/log/maillog

Howdy,

It looks like there's some errors occurring when Postfix is starting up... this one in particular shows up:

fatal: specify a password table via the smtp_sasl_password_maps' configuration parameter

What is the output of this command:

postconf -n

I suspect the issue is related to this line here:

smtp_sasl_auth_enable = yes

Try changing that to instead be:

smtpd_sasl_auth_enable = yes

And then restart Postfix with:

service postfix restart

After changing this: smtp_sasl_auth_enable = yes
TO this: smtpd_sasl_auth_enable = yes

I can not still send email.

I then checked the /var/log/maillog and saw a different output.

Here is the Output:
