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 3600 ; refresh 900 ; retry 1209600 ; expire 1800 ; ttl ) IN NS NS1.DIGITALOCEAN.COM. NS NS2.DIGITALOCEAN.COM. NS NS3.DIGITALOCEAN.COM. MX 5 mail MX 1 ASPMX.L.GOOGLE.COM. MX 5 ALT1.ASPMX.L.GOOGLE.COM. MX 5 ALT2.ASPMX.L.GOOGLE.COM. MX 10 ASPMX2.GOOGLEMAIL.COM. MX 10 ASPMX3.GOOGLEMAIL.COM. @ IN A xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx www CNAME @ @ TXT “v=spf1 ip4:xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx include:_spf.google.com -all”
I get this email back from google
Delivery to the following recipient failed permanently:
test@xxxxxxxx.com
Technical details of permanent failure: Google tried to deliver your message, but it was rejected by the server for the recipient domain xxxxxxxx.com by aspmx.l.google.com. [2607:f8b0:4002:c01::1a].
The error that the other server returned was: 550-5.1.1 The email account that you tried to reach does not exist. Please try 550-5.1.1 double-checking the recipient’s email address for typos or 550-5.1.1 unnecessary spaces.

Hi, <br>I was wrong it isn’t working :( <br>When I looked for the email in gmail, I actually found the sent email. I thought it was what I received haha <br> <br> <br>Can someone help? <br>Maybe with this? <br> <br>/etc/postfix/main.cf <br>http://pastebin.centos.org/5951/ <br> <br>Thank you
By the way, the error message from google is different from my 1st post. <br> <br>Technical details of temporary failure: <br>The recipient server did not accept our requests to connect. Learn more at http://support.google.com/mail/bin/answer.py?answer=7720 <br>[(0) xxxxxxx.com. [xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx]:25: Connection refused] <br>[(5) mail.xxxxxxx.com. [xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx]:25: Connection refused] <br> <br>When I follow the Google link and go to their mx configuring page I get a wrning on ‘SPF MUST allow Google servers to send mail on behalf of domain.’ but the data that provides google is 100% the same I have in my config
By chance, have you taken a look at <a href=“https://digitalocean.com/community/articles/how-to-set-up-a-postfix-e-mail-server-with-dovecot”>How To Set Up a Postfix E-Mail Server with Dovecot</a>? I realize that it’s written for Debian, but with <a href=“https://digitalocean.com/community/articles/how-to-install-postfix-on-centos-6”>How To Install Postfix on CentOS 6</a>, you should be able to easily apply it to your situation.
