the saga of how gmail reluctantly accepted zabbix alerts from my self hosted postfix server
Currently my email setup is quite simple. I have three domain names, and have them all set to forward incoming email to my spam Gmail account. Then I use rules on the to: field to label them as they come in. It works quite well for pretty much every thing I need, with the exception of sending emails. And sending isn’t really a need, but it would make a lot of things easier. Anything from critical alerts to posting on this very WordPress site could be automated if I could send out email, and actually have it delivered. That is much more difficult than receiving. MS and google have pretty much made it so you can’t use your own email server and get it delivered to the inbox, maybe spam if you do everything right. I started this post a month or two ago. I’m not sure when exactly, but the last time I created the VM qcow was March 28.
I’m now writing the actual posts, which should be two, possibly three posts, so that I can refer to them later with ease. Postfix and OpenDKIM. Possibly one to tie them all together. Might be simpler to have it in one, but this is where I’m starting from my pages of notes and poorly labeled screenshots.
