I've got a Postfix server hosting a lastname.org domain name for family
members.

I use virtual aliasing to forward inbound mail for family members to
third-pary mail providers (mostly gmail, but a few yahoo and aol, too).

I've also created user accounts on the server for a very small handful of
immediate family members (4 people) so they can authenticate (via TLS) send
email as firstn...@lastname.org (which is properly DKIM signed and will
pass an SPF check).

I do not provide any mail storage or retrieval on the server (no POP or
IMAP) for any family members.

This has worked fine for years, but now I'm starting to see warnings in the
Postfix log from Gmail, stating that the server is being rate-limited
because of unsolicited messages. I presume that Gmail is sensing SPAM being
sent to the @lastname.org accounts, which gets forwarded to the family
member's Gmail account. I don't do any spam checking or filtering on the
Postfix server.

So my questions are:

1) What's the best way to forward family members' incoming mail to Gmail
(and other mailers)?

2) My Postscreen and main.cf sender restrictions are rejecting a fair
amount of inbound spam, but apparently not enough to keep Gmail happy.

3) Should I consider setting up SpamAssassin with some very low thresholds
to pick up the obvious stuff?

Thanks in advance,

Steve
