Postfix configuration: GMail bounces my mail as spam, but not always

    Hey everyone,
    I'm using a ubuntu 14.04 LTS server with Apache, Postfix and ISPConfig 3.
    I did the "Perfect Server" setup to configure my server.
    Postfix is configured to support multiple domains.

    Let's say I have 2 Domains: My main domain is example.net and my virtual-domain is mydomain.com

    My problem is, that whenever I write an email from a virtual-domain (e.g. mydomain.com) to a gmail-address, it bounces with the following message:
    Code:
    550-5.7.1 Our system has
    550-5.7.1 detected that this message is likely unsolicited mail. To reduce the
    550-5.7.1 amount of spam sent to Gmail, this message has been blocked. Please
    550-5.7.1 visit
    550 5.7.1  https://support.google.com/mail/answer/188131 for more information.


    This is my main.cf
    Code:
    masquerade_domains = $mydomain
    masquerade_exceptions = root, mailer-daemon
    smtpd_relay_restrictions = permit_mynetworks permit_sasl_authenticated defer_unauth_destination
    #myhostname = mail.example.net
    alias_maps = hash:/etc/aliases, hash:/var/lib/mailman/data/aliases
    alias_database = hash:/etc/aliases, hash:/var/lib/mailman/data/aliases
    #myorigin = /etc/mailname
    mydestination = $myhostname, localhost.$mydomain, mail.example.net, localhost, localhost.localdomain
    mydomain = example.net
    myhostname = mail.$mydomain
    mynetworks_style = host
    myorigin = $mydomain
    #smpt_banner = $myhostname ESMTP $mail_name
    relayhost =
    mynetworks = 127.0.0.0/8 [::1]/128
    mailbox_command = procmail -a "$EXTENSION"
    mailbox_size_limit = 0
    recipient_delimiter = +
    inet_interfaces = all
    html_directory = /usr/share/doc/postfix/html
    virtual_alias_domains =
    virtual_alias_maps = hash:/var/lib/mailman/data/virtual-mailman, proxy:mysql:/etc/postfix/mysql-virtual_forwardings.cf, proxy:mysql:/etc/postfix/mysql-virtual_email2email.cf
    virtual_mailbox_domains = proxy:mysql:/etc/postfix/mysql-virtual_domains.cf
    virtual_mailbox_maps = proxy:mysql:/etc/postfix/mysql-virtual_mailboxes.cf
    virtual_mailbox_base = /var/vmail
    virtual_uid_maps = static:5000
    virtual_gid_maps = static:5000
    inet_protocols = all
    smtpd_sasl_auth_enable = yes
    broken_sasl_auth_clients = yes
    smtpd_sasl_authenticated_header = yes
    
    The strange thing is: when I add the virtual-domain (mydomain.com) to "mydestination", the mail gets delivered to gmail, but I can't receive any new mail on that domain. If I remove that domain again, my mails get rejected again.

    What am I doing wrong here?

    Thanks,
    Locutus

    First, virtual domains shall not be listed in mydestination, so please don't add it there as this makes the domain a system domain.

    To your problem:

    1) Check the reverse dns record of your server IP and ensure that it matches the server hostname and that the server hostname is a subdomain and the same subdomain is used for myhostname and myorgin in postfix main.cf.
    2) Add a spf record for your domain.
    3) Add Dkim: http://blog.schaal-24.de/ispconfig/ispconfig-dkim-patch/?lang=en

    Could you explain a bit more about DKIM? What is that and why do I need it.
    I don't have an own DNS Server configured. Is DKIM still usefull for me?

    Thanks,
    Gmail works now. But Outlook.com still makes some trouble:

    Code:
    550 5.7.1 Service unavailable; Client host [MY_IP_ADDRESS] blocked using FBLW15; To request removal from this list please forward this message to [email protected] (in reply to RCPT TO command))
    do you have any idea on that as well?
