You installation doesn't look right.. your config directory should be /Library/Server/Mail/Config/postfix

What happens when you run

sudo ps -aux | grep master

You should see:

master -c /Library/Server/Mail/Config/postfix

If postfix isn't starting up, then you won't be able to use SMTP in your mail app.

What do you get with

sudo postfix status

If you get no results, then postfix isn't listening on port 25

Considering you see that postfix fatal error, I doubt its running.

What do you get with

sudo postfix -c /Library/Server/Mail/Config/postfix check

Well.. your postfix is up and reachable from the outside world

$ telnet merlin.macwebservers.com 25

Trying 67.212.81.243...

Connected to merlin.macwebservers.com.

Escape character is '^]'.

220-merlin.macwebservers.com ESMTP Postfix

So thats good news..

As far as what to enter in your mail client.

Enter the same hostnamename, user and pw you enter for imap.
