Postfix update resulted in mails going to spam?

2019-06-13 Thread John Gateley
Hello, I recently upgraded my mail server OS (Debian 7 to Debian 9), and at the same time got the latest postfix package for Debian 9. It is hosted in the cloud (Linode), and I completely rebuilt the instance, rather than doing an upgrade. The IP addresses (v4 and v6) are the same. The config

Good morning Martin, I have exactly the same scenario. Instead of using "include", I just use the ipv4 addresses of the mailserver: v=spf1 ip4:97.107.132.79 ip4:50.116.29.164 -all Here, the two IP addresses are for my two mx hosts. This is the SPF record for all my domains, including the doma

Hi, I've found several websites for configuring backup MX servers that recommend setting the transport_maps for the primary domains. This seems wrong to me: the DNS MX record already has this info. Is there another reason to set the transport_maps for the backup config? Thanks John http://www.
