I recently set up a mail server using IRedMail on a home server running Debian 8, using OpenLDAP, nginx in the installer. We got everything set up and configured to where we can access our mail server with roundcube (which I can access through mail.sterango.com) and Thunderbird and login to accounts just fine. We can send emails to and from accounts that are on the domain (seb@sterango.com can send and receive from postmaster@smail.sterango.com), but I am not able to send or recieve email with either of these accounts from outside sources such as my gmail account. Here is my main.cf

# line of that file to be used as the name.  The Debian default
# is /etc/mailname.

Also here are my DNS records: https://i.stack.imgur.com/lKDkk.png Should the A one point to a local IP like that? I will also gladly post any logs or files. Thanks!

  1. Reverse DNS - the outside world will expect that the source address of email you're sending has a correct reverse lookup. 192.168.x.x is a private IP address and is therefore not an appropriate reverse lookup. Specifically, the name in myorigin needs to have a correct reverse. If this is not correct, your spam score shoots WAY up on services like gmail.
  2. mynetworks indicates that you're only processing mail for localhost, are you sure you're listening on a non-localhost interface?
  3. your logs are one of the best methods of troubleshooting postfix, but they can also be somewhat misleading when troubleshooting remote delivery. Many services will accept mail from suspected spam sources with no indication that they're going to toss out or tag the incoming mail as spam because that would make it easier to bypass their spam filters.

  • both my mailserver and webserver public ips are the same and running off seperate computers?? – Collin Aug 16 '15 at 03:44
  • if you have a mail and web server running on different computers, but using the same address, then you most likely have a NAT somewhere in between them and the internet – Rick Buford Aug 16 '15 at 19:10
  • do you have a person that is in charge of your network connections? that's who you need to speak to regarding NAT. – Rick Buford Aug 17 '15 at 21:17
