I have postfix and dovecot installed on Debian. I have my droplet named as an FQDN (mxwsrv1.cbuchanon.org). I have an A record for mail.cbuchanon.org pointing to the IP of my droplet. I have an MX record pointing cbuchanon.org to mail.cbuchanon.org. The host name on the server shows as mxwsrv1.

Initially, I had the port blocked and could see Google trying to connect when I sent e-mails through gmail. I opened the port and that cleared the error. I’ve checked that mail.cbuchanon.org points back to my server IP and am coming up empty as to how else I could trace where the issue is occurring. Any guidance would be greatly appreciated.
