Have a look at the error logs.

Look for obvious signs of trouble
=================================

Postfix logs all failed and successful deliveries to a logfile.

* When Postfix uses syslog logging (the default), the file is usually
  called /var/log/maillog, /var/log/mail, or something similar; the
  exact pathname is configured in a file called /etc/syslog.conf,
  /etc/rsyslog.conf, or something similar.

* When Postfix uses its own logging system (see MAILLOG_README),
  the location of the logfile is configured with the Postfix
  maillog_file parameter.

When Postfix does not receive or deliver mail, the first order of
business is to look for errors that prevent Postfix from working
properly:

    % egrep '(warning|error|fatal|panic):' /some/log/file | more

Note: the most important message is near the BEGINNING of the output.
Error messages that come later are less useful.

The nature of each problem is indicated as follows:

* "panic" indicates a problem in the software itself that only a
  programmer can fix. Postfix cannot proceed until this is fixed.

* "fatal" is the result of missing files, incorrect permissions,
  incorrect configuration file settings that you can fix. Postfix
  cannot proceed until this is fixed.

* "error" reports an error condition. For safety reasons, a Postfix
  process will terminate when more than 13 of these happen.

* "warning" indicates a non-fatal error. These are problems that
  you may not be able to fix (such as a broken DNS server elsewhere
  on the network) but may also indicate local configuration errors
  that could become a problem later.
