Have you looked at the postfix SMTP logs? Generally, if a mail server doesn't like a mail, it will reject it (e.g. with 550) rather than accept it and silently discard it. Whenever postfix sends a message, there should be a line in its logs that looks something like this: > Sep 20 17:34:30 mailserver_hostname postfix/smtp[10816]: D2A5184FE1: > to=<email_addr...@google.com>, > relay=gmr-smtp-in.l.google.com[2607:f8b0:4001:c1e::e]:25, delay=0.88, > delays=0.2/0.03/0.41/0.24, dsn=2.0.0, status=sent (250 2.0.0 OK 1474407270 > f13 3si2432297ita.1 - gsmtp) Note in particular the "status=sent (250 ...)" part. 250 means the server accepted my message. A status like 550 means permanent rejection, 450 means temporary rejection, etc. Compare the logs from when it works and when it doesn't. See if there's any differences in the status responses. --Sean
