Can't recieve emails with Postfix/Dovecot telnet returns status0
I try sending emails to my address and I can't find any record of them, even in the logs. I can send to myself on the server just fine. When I try telneting onto my server I get the following answer
When I telnet onto port 587 it works as expected.
Within the logs I get
warning: unexpected end-of-input from smtp socket while reading input attribute name
smtp socket: wanted attribute: flags
warning: deliver_request_get: error receiving common attributes
This is my postconf -M

I've doubled checked the MX records and it points to mail.gamesleeve.io with dig
Solution 1:
You are not running an smtp server (smtpd). You probably introduced a typo in the first non-comment line of your master.cf file.
What it looks like in your case (only looking at the lines starting with smtp):
smtp inet n - n - - smtp -v
smtp unix - - y - - smtp
My defaults were - a smtp daemon is supposed to be started as the inet/smtp service:
smtp inet n - y - - smtpd
smtp unix - - y - - smtp
I suspect this happened when you added the non-default -v flag. Your smtpd_banner indicates you are running Ubuntu, there you should find a template in /etc/postfix/master.cf.proto that you can use to compare your edited settings to the distributors defaults.
