Hello, I configured postfix with mysql virtual mailboxes following the instructions on http://www.esdebian.org/wiki/servidor-correo (instructions are in spanish, but I have attached the contents of the main.cf file for reference). Everything worked fine, but I'm not able to forward e-mail to external e-mail addresses. According to the document, I should put an entry on the forwadings table of my mysql configuration, which has two fields: source and destination. Mail sent to source should then be sent to destination. This configuration does for local delivery: if I put an inexistent e-mail address on source and a valid local e-mail address in destination, mail gets send. It also works if I put a valid local e-mail address on source and a valid local e-mail address on destination. What doesn't work is putting a local e-mail address on source and an external e-mail address on destination (i.e. gmail), which is the configuration I'm trying to do. I reviewed the logs and it seems postfix is trying to deliver the e-mail, but for some reason it doesn't arrive to the destination. I have tried several different destinations on different external servers to make sure this is not a problem with the external e-mail address. Here's an entry from the log file that seems to indicate that the e-mail is being forwaded: Jul 22 13:56:23 textilsumar postfix/smtp[19295]: 7F9B32ECBB: to=<validemailaddr...@gmail.com>, orig_to=<validlocalu...@xxx.cl>, relay=gmail-smtp-in.l.google.com[74.125.47.27]:25, delay=3.3, delays=0.07/0/1.2/2, dsn=2.0.0, status=sent (250 2.0.0 OK 1279821298 z9si20732286ank.33) As I said, the e-mail does not arrive to the gmail account.
This email was correctly delivered to gmail and the gmail server acknowledged receipt. This isn't a postfix configuration issue.
If it doesn't show up in your mailbox, you'll need to check with them for the reason. Maybe their spam filters discarded your mail.
This could be an issue with your IP or reverse DNS hostname. http://ipadmin.junkemailfilter.com/rdns.php http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Forward-confirmed_reverse_DNS -- Noel Jones
