I am trying to setup a mail server with postfix/dovecot/maria DB on centos 7 and have seem to hit a roadblock.

I am not able to send emails to internal users and the logs suggest "mail transport unavailable". I checked few resources online and dont seem to find help, the services are up and running.

/var/log/maillog

I need to find out the source of the error.

Personally I'd strace the qmgr process and hopefully see where the error is coming from.

Is dovecot running? Does website-internal.com have a MX record?

What happens when you run:

echo "test" | /usr/sbin/sendmail [email protected] [email protected]

  • Thanks Ed for replying back. Strace qmgr yields nothing [root@server ~]# strace qmgr strace: Can't stat 'qmgr': No such file or directory Dovecot is running (Confirmed). I have 'website-internal.com' running on apache and have enteries for the same in my /etc/hosts, no MX records created on external DNS. [root@server ~]# echo "test" | /usr/sbin/sendmail [email protected] [email protected] [root@server ~]# Commented Mar 10, 2017 at 13:52
