Thank you apinto! I will have to give that a try. I was worried about adding on software to the server after I got everything working with Sentora (i.e. in case it messes things up with Sentora and brings down the web server). Is it risky to do this? I'm assuming anything you install that's connected to the web server functions could cause trouble for Sentora, as Sentora is managing the server. Please let me know.
As for the gmail greylisting, perhaps it's only the spammy emails that it's doing this? For example I just tested a few features on my drupal site which sends out emails to users based on things they do on the site. I have a test user on my Drupal site with one of my emails setup on my server. myemail@mydomain.com. I ran through and did a few things on the website that I know would trigger emails and those immediately came through to my gmail account (from my server via Drupal -> myemail@mydomain.com -> myemail@gmail.com).
These came through instantaneously, so no issues receiving them to gmail. And if I look at "mailq" now, I see nothing in the queue except that spam email which I posted above. So it seems gmail may just be delaying receiving this email? And it will keep doing this and eventually fall off of mailq's queue once it runs out of retries? Is this how these email servers work??
I'm a bit new to this. Obviously I think it will be a good idea to add the spam filter stuff to my server, but honestly I rather not mess around with the server unless I have to. I funnel all my email through to my gmail account and gmail does a great job of filtering the spam for me. So spam is no problem for me in terms of my inbox (which is why I funnel all my email to gmail in the first place).
Appreciate any advice you can give. Thank you for the quick response!!
