Hello @tngcrdit2021,

If that is the problem then you only need to recreate the symlink.

Option 1 (use parameter f to overwrite the existing symlink):

ln -sf /etc/letsencrypt/live/mail.firstchoiceinvst.com/privkey.pem /etc/ssl/private/iRedMail.key

Option 2 (remove the wrong symlink and create a new one):

rm /etc/ssl/private/iRedMail.key
ln -s /etc/letsencrypt/live/mail.firstchoiceinvst.com/privkey.pem /etc/ssl/private/iRedMail.key

Also, in this command:

root@mail:~# ln -s /etc/letsencrypt/live/mail.firstchoiceinvst.com/ fullchain.pem /etc/ssl/certs/iRedMail.crt

There is an space between / and fullchain.pem, don't know if that is because a wrong copy/paste or because you really used that command.

You should double check that created symlinks are the right ones.

Cheers,
