When I test my email installation with Postfix on Ubuntu 20.04.1 using
telnet port 25, the server answers but then does not respond to entries

root@localhost:/var/log# telnet maillist.naturalintelligence.us 25
Trying 2600:3c00::f03c:92ff:fe7f:c636...
Connected to maillist.naturalintelligence.us.
Escape character is '^]'.
MAIL FROM:address@concealed


Mail.err logfile shows
