TL;DR
- I can send mail
- I can receive mail
- Just not from gmail
- It's been days (not just DNS)
- Gmail never attempts to contact my mail server (not tls, etc)
-------------
I have my primary domain and aliases working.
postmaster@domain.tld (here forward domain.tld is my primary, which iredmail was installed with)
- me@
- eddie@
I can receive mail for all 3 addresses from external senders. I can reply as the alias. :check:
I am trying to add alias domain so that I will also have:
me@alias.tld.
eddie@alias.tld
( here forward alias.tld is another domain i own, pointed at iredmail server with all mx, txt records set for mail)
I added to `alias_domain` table per docs.
I added to `alias` table per docs
Postfix will see these rules and forward for internal users,but for external users (gmail) postfix shows nothing (no connections, no errrors, just silent), and sender gets no errors or bounces.
