Thread: mailserver help needed

hi not sure if right place post asking bit of ill try anyways.

have been trying set mail server on vps running buntu 10.04.2 lts (32bit)

using mta postfix mail server. after lots of configuring still mail sent going spam on both hotmail , gmail. here set-up , configs:

• have own domain-name (lets call mycooldomain.com)

• the reverse-dsn vps ip pointing "mail.mycooldomain.com."

• mx dns record: vps ip points "mail.mycooldomain.com" @ priority=10

• vps hostname: "mail.mycooldomain.com"

• contect of hosts file (/etc/hosts):

127.0.0.1 localhost.localdomain localhost mail.mycooldomain.com
# auto-generated hostname. please not remove comment.
174.456.245.223 mail.mycooldomain.com mail

• my postfix config file:

code:

smtpd_banner = $myhostname esmtp $mail_name biff = no  # appending .domain mua's job. append_dot_mydomain = no  # uncomment next line generate "delayed mail" warnings #delay_warning_time = 4h    myhostname = mycooldomain.com alias_maps = hash:/etc/aliases alias_database = hash:/etc/aliases myorigin = mycooldomain.com mydestination = $mycooldomain.com, localhost.$mycooldomain.com, , localhost relayhost = mynetworks = 127.0.0.0/8 mailbox_command = procmail -a "$extension" mailbox_size_limit = 0 recipient_delimiter = + inet_interfaces = html_directory = /usr/share/doc/postfix/html

configure correctly to send out emails end in spam, more appreciated!

update:

when put in postfix config:

code:

myorigin = $mydomain

instead of original:

code:

myorigin = mycooldomain.com

the emails dont go spam sender details "root@com" , want them "root@mycooldomain.com"
