If all worked so far - you should be able to send email to any regular user on vm3 using the email address yourusername@yoursenecaid.org using Thunderbird on vm2.
Create a new account on vm3 using only your first name. We'll use this for receiving email. It's rather important that you don't create this account on vm2 - so that you continue to see the difference between the sending and receiving SMTP servers.

Send Use the new account in Thunderbird to send an email to yourself (from yourself) firstname@yoursenecaid.org and then check the contents of /home/yourusernamefirstname/Maildir/new/ on vm3. - there should be a file there with the contents of your email.
If there isn't one - check the log file /var/log/maillog to see what went wrong.
