@ceazer Do you have a compute instance, with no mailserver? or do you have the email server somewhere else? and you just use the instance to run mautuc?
Without knowing what you have, I may tell that you need to have an email service/server, google, yahoo or other, may not allow you
Let me know more details. And I will try to help to the best I know

I think postfix already installed on my server

tcp 0 0 \*:smtp _:_ LISTEN 2729/master
tcp 0 0 \*:smtp _:_ LISTEN 2729/master
[root@vps269941 /]# netstat -tanpl|grep :25
tcp 0 0 0.0.0.0:25 0.0.0.0:\* LISTEN 2729/master
tcp 0 0 :::25 :::\* LISTEN 2729/master
Please tell me what command should i run on my server?

Other option, that will get you a lot of trouble off your shoulders is to get a hosted/shared account with your domain name, those accounts in most cases include email service, so you can have your domain, mautic and email server in one solution via cPanel. Cost is in average 7-9 dlls, per month.
I use this service for my accout:
