I have postfix setup to forward all emails sent to my website to my gmail account.
It works for all email addresses except my gmail account. (Works for other gmails)
/etc/postfix/virtual looks like this:
I can send mail from console. And other email addresses are forwarded. Except my gmail.
Is google blocking this because they think I am spoofing the header? Or is it on my end?
Is there an easy way to fix this?
(I’d like to limit my email install just to postfix, I’m only forwarding, nothing else)
