Question
Need help with Postfix / MX record setup: Email forwarding not working
I’m trying to setup my server so that emails get forwarded to users personal email accounts. I don’t want to have to manage email on the server. I setup my Ubuntu server with serverpilot and cloudflare and it is running Wordpress just fine right now, but just the emails are not coming through. Here is my setup:
- MX records at CloudFlare
MX savageminds.org mail handled by savageminds.org 1 Automatic
- my postfix config file:
/etc/postfix/main.cf (See below)
- my /etc/aliases file with mappings, like this one:
info: [my username]@gmail.com
Am I missing something, or did I configure something wrong? Thanks for your help!
