Setup Postfix as send-only MTA
I have followed the instructions here:
https://netcorecloud.com/tutorials/install-postfix-as-send-only-smtp-server/
However when I try to send the test email I don't receive an email.
Running:
tail /var/log/mail.log
Shows

I have outgoing connections on port 25 enabled on the cloud firewall.
Not really a mail guru, what am I missing?

All new Linode accounts have SMTP restricted. Please see:
