Gmail smtp+postfix getting bounced for unknown reason

WordPress Nginx
#1

Thank you for the gmail smtp+postfix howto
Unfortunately I get this:
Nov 8 12:27:41 ODIN2 postfix/error[20109]: EDB1E77006EE: to=, orig_to=, relay=none, delay=0, delays=0/0/0/0, dsn=5.0.0, status=bounced ([smtp.gmail.com]:587)

using the gmail server works fine with ssmtp on my server.
Tha only instruction I cannot follow is "select Internet Site and for FQDN use something like mail.example.com”

As I had postfix installed from before/did not get such a wizard.
I did, experiment a bit with adding a (fake) FQDN to “mydestination” and /or replacing myorigin with FQDN

I am on a dynamic IP, and recieving email is not that important, and being able to send alams/cron job outcome.

You have new mail in /var/mail/andre

Your config looks fine.

Try debugging postfix - http://rtcamp.com/tutorials/mail/postfix-debugging/

I am not sure about implication of DYNAMIC IP part. I would have recommended static IP but here mails are sent from Gmail server.

Did you checked Gmail account’s sent folder from gmail.com web-interface?

#3

me being on dynamic IP, should be irrelevant, as ssmtp works fine with the the very same server, with the very same gmail smtp account.
needless to say, there’s no trace of this email in the accounts outbox.

Another thing that stops me from being able to debug this, is that debug level for this service is already =3 all I got in the log is the bounce message, then the msg is deleted - not even queued for retry. It’s as if the smtp server have a reason to deny service, but I do not know what might trigger that.

#4

Try service postfix stop

Then /usr/sbin/postfix -v start

I hope you will see more debug output.

Purged ssmtp, and postfix, then reinstalled, instant success.
Thank you.

Thanks for confirmation. :slight_smile:
