I am using Ubuntu 14.04 Distro and the repo install with LAMP, Webmin, Virtualmin. For some reason the Postfix install has never worked properly, I can't send or receive. It's been a number of years since I set this up and everything was manual at that time (at least 10 years ago). I am including my main.cf below
# See /usr/share/postfix/main.cf.dist for a commented, more complete version
# Debian specific: Specifying a file name will cause the first
# line of that file to be used as the name. The Debian default
# is /etc/mailname.

I'm pretty sure I am missing something simple but I am missing it none the less.
Any assistance would be appreciated.

Here is my mail.err log
I'm running out of ideas. Any help would be much appreciated.
Howdy,
Try commenting out this line in your main.cf file:
sender_dependent_default_transport_maps = /etc/postfix/dependentAfter that, restart Postfix with this command:
/etc/init.d/postfix restartOnce you do that, does Postfix work properly for you?
-Eric
That seemed to fix it. Thanx!!!!
Solved the last of the really big issues for me.
RESOLVED
Nature of the issue: You haven't given postfix a map/db type, it has no idea how to read the file.
Your config file reads
'sender_dependent_default_transport_maps = /etc/postfix/dependent'this is incorrect.It should read
'transport_maps = hash:/etc/postfix/dependent'The word hash tells postfix what database type to reference when reading this file.
Assuming the content of your transport file is correct, do the following.
1. Edit the original line to match the one above.
2. Now create the new "Transport database" by issuing the following command,
postmap hash:/etc/postfix/transportThis will create the needed database file: /etc/postfix/transport.db
3. Now restart postfix
