Question
I can't receive e-mails
Hello,
I tried to contact the support but it seems they can't help with config issues. I hope someone will be able to help here.
I followed this tutorial https://www.digitalocean.com/community/articles/how-to-install-postfix-on-centos-6 and I only have email redirects into /etc/postfix/virtual
I'm testing with the email address test@xxxxxxxx.com (redirecting to test@gmail.com)
I can:
- send an email from ssh using the command line "mail test@xxxxxxxx.com"
- receive this email on my Gmail account
- send an email from Gmail from test@xxxxxxxx.com to test@xxxxxxxx.com (I think so)
- send an email from Gmail from test@gmail.com to test@xxxxxxxx.com (I think so)
but I can't :
- receive the emails from Gmail on my Gmail account
Also, the emails sent through the ssh are received with the sender root@mail.xxxxxxxx.com. Why not test@xxxxxxxx.com?
This is my DNS config:
$TTL 1800
@ IN SOA NS1.DIGITALOCEAN.COM. hostmaster.xxxxxxxx.com. (
1384969598 ; last update: 2013-11-20 17:46:38 UTC

1209600 ; expire

I get this email back from google
