Tony, I would forget about the SSL part until you have configured your
Postfix to be in a workable state (sending/receiving e-mails with no
errors). Afterwards, you can start to setup the SSL certificate but not
before.

This can come from SSL certificate file :-?

Try first from local, then test from remote.

Maybe because Postfix is not yet configured to use SSL.

Check if you have two mail systems running in one host. If so, you have to
disable one of them (I would recommend to keep Postfix ;-) )
