Hello, My old server running Debian using Exim4 died a few weeks ago, rather terminally. Since then I've been learning Postfix on a Raspberry Pi. Things are mostly working, but I'm having some trouble with Google. First, Gmail on my Android phone will not talk to Postfix, citing an untrusted certificate and offering no means of trusting it. It Used To Work (tm) with Exim4, also using a self-signed certificate. Is there any way around this? I'm not buying a 'real' certificate just to please Google. Second, and this may have a related cause, I can no longer send email to Gmail, and again Exim4 could. This log entry seems to show that an email was sent and accepted, but it was never received, nor shown as spam by Gmail: Jul 28 12:04:04 piserve2 postfix/smtp[54533]: 6A32D465CF: to=<[email protected]>, relay=gmail-smtp-in.l.google.com[192.178.223.27]:25, delay=1.9, delays=0.08/0.04/0.26/1.5, dsn=2.0.0, status=sent (250 2.0.0 OK 1785236644 ffacd0b85a97d-47f86b138b2si34603048f8f.311 - gsmtp) Jul 28 12:04:04 piserve2 postfix/qmgr[32314]: 6A32D465CF: removed I can get email to a Gmail account, but only by forwarding it to my Hotmail address and then further forwarding it to Gmail. Not satisfactory. Hotmail/Outlook/live/whatever seems happy with email from Postfix. I do have SPF records for my domains, and as I say, Exim4 had no trouble. I'm hoping this sort of thing has happened to others, and there are simple fixes. Thanks for any replies, Joe _______________________________________________ Postfix-users mailing list -- [email protected] To unsubscribe send an email to [email protected]
