Hello, guys. I'm trying to move/re-configure my mail server from an older debian server to a gentoo one. I kinda configured everything i know/remember, but I have one big problem. I keep getting this warning. You have bellow my postfix config as well. Can you help me? What other config should I provide? All posts i found online about this didn't help and chrooting and I would like to solve this without chrooting if possible .
