[kwlug-disc] msmtp email to gmail not landing - ideas?

[Khalid Baheyeldin]

I don't know gsmtp, but I do have postfix sending emails to gmail without
issues.

It could be PTR not set for your server, it could be DKIM, or plain old SPF
for your domain.

Start by looking in the logs. Here is a successful send from Nagios (a
monitoring platform) to a Gmail address:

Mar 29 16:11:01 mon postfix/pickup[20500]: 383FF3A0EF: uid=113 from=<nagios>
Mar 29 16:11:01 mon postfix/cleanup[31256]: 383FF3A0EF: message-id=<
20170329201101.383FF3A0EF at server.example.com>
Mar 29 16:11:01 mon postfix/qmgr[4082]: 383FF3A0EF: from=<nagios at example.com>,
size=644, nrcpt=1 (queue active)
Mar 29 16:11:01 mon postfix/smtp[31258]: 383FF3A0EF: to=<myaddress at gmail.com>,
relay=gmail-smtp-in.l.google.com[209.85.201.26]:25, delay=0
.55, delays=0.02/0.01/0.11/0.41, dsn=2.0.0, status=sent (250 2.0.0 OK
1490818251 o129si7061411qkc.290 - gsmtp)
Mar 29 16:11:01 mon postfix/qmgr[4082]: 383FF3A0EF: removed
