On Centos, it is /var/log/maillog

also

/var/log/messages

then is SELinux sticking its nose into things.

try setenforce 0

and see if things start working, then start trouble shooting the SELinux 
policy errors.  Note that when I create /home/vmail, I have to set 
SELinux permissions.

chcon -Rv --type=mail_home_rw_t /home/vmail/

And see my Apache section for creating and setting permissions for the 
certificates and keys.
