I'm setting up a postfix + dovecot mail server for myself on a VPS. I plan to host a couple of domains with it and be able to manage the users via MySQL.
It currently works as I would like to but it misses e-mails sent from some hosts. When that happens, there is nothing on the logs. So I'm having a hard time trying to figure out why this is happening, anything that could point me out in the right direction is highly appreciated.
These are some of the tests I did so far:
- Sending from Gmail to user@mydomain.com: Works - Appears in logs
- Sending mails from user@mydomain.com to anywhere: Works - Appears in logs
- Sendings from Github to user@mydomain.com: Doesn't work - Nothing in the logs
(Same happens with several hosts)
Here are the contents of my postfix/master.cf:

virtual_transport = dovecot
dovecot_destination_recipient_limit = 1
And in the VPS: Debian Wheezy, Postfix 2.9.6, Dovecot 2.1.7
I will keep trying to figure out why or at least to get something logged and update the post.
