Question
Email Server Issues (postfix, rainloop, dovecot)
Hi,
I am trying to setup my own mail server to serve my personal email address, "me@mydomain.com"... I don't plan on having any other email accounts on this server aside from this one.
What I did...
Install Postfix for smtp.. https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Postfix
Install Dovecot for IMAP.. https://help.ubuntu.com/10.04/serverguide/dovecot-server.html
Install Rainloop for webmail..http://rainloop.net/docs/installation/
The Zone file for my domain... mydomain.com
-----------Begin Zone File--------------

What I can do...
I can send email with no issues through the terminal via the command,
echo "This is a test message." | mail -s Hello mygmailadd@gmail.com
I can also send email through Heirloom mailx
I can recieve email from my root user account (I send email to me@mydomain.com, using the terminal command)
I can login and view my inbox through my webmail.
What I can't do...
Recieve email sent from my gmail address. (no mailer:daemon error message from my gmail at the time of sending this ticket.)
Send email from my webmail app (authentication failed).
Is there something wrong with my configurations?
Thanks
