Forwarding e-mail

[crhampus]

Hi there.

I just recently picked up Sentora and absolutely love it. It's easily the best open-source panel I've tried.

Everything actually went a lot smoother than I expected. The setup took <5 minutes and only required one command. All the DNS, mail, web, etc settings all worked out of the box with basically no changes needed.

Now, enough with the sugar-coating so I'm just going to get directly to my problem.

E-mail forwarding doesn't work.
I have no idea as to why, as both sending and receiving e-mail works perfectly well without any issues.
I've tried both the built-in forwarder and using the roundcube feature for filtering e-mails to redirect/copy to my gmail address.

It's not necessarily a huge problem, but I would really like to get notifications in my gmail when I get an e-mail from my personal domain.

Any ideas on what the problem might be?

TL;DR Sending and receiving e-mails works, forwarding to another (gmail) address does not. Don't know why.

You can also check other email accounts with gmail, and even send emails from gmail with your own domain name..

Thanks, I will make sure to try that out, sounds like a perfect solution!

Although it still begs the question as to why mail forwarding doesn't work?

I was having the same issue a couple of months ago and I fixed it by enabling SRS support for my server.

Since I have spf enabled to improve deliverability, when an email gets received from gmail.com for example and your server tries to forward it to another gmail or a hotmail account or any other external domain... the domain arrives to the new destination as user1@gmail.com but since it goes out from your server which is not authorized to send using a gmail address... then the receiving end will most likely discard the message without telling you everything because it will consider it as spam or forfeited email.

With SRS enabled the same email will get forwarded with something like this: gmail.com+user1@yourserver.com
but the final user will not see that email unless they click on the "show source button on their email"... The email will be accepted by the final destination host because it appears to be sent from your domain where Sentora is installed, not a gmail yahoo, or any other domain.

This tutorial helped me fix it... I skipped the dkim part because I had already implemented it.
