Go into
webmin -> servers -> postfix mail server
check the mail queue. if there are items in the queue, what does their status give.

Your not running postfix, depending on what all is installed on the server, if you installed virtualmin, then yes you would be running postfix.

tail -f /var/log/maillog

You can run that cmd via ssh cmd line or open the command window via webmin.

Run this cmd, appears your running a debian system, ubuntu i assume.

tail -f /var/log/email.err | grep "youremailhere"

In your admincp --> maintenance --> diagnostics
Send yourself a email to the address you put in the cmd above.

Post the results from the cmd.

Run this cmd as well and paste what it tells you:

hostname
