How do i solve that ?

is mail.privatdemail.net a Bubba machine? If not then I have no clue what the problem seems to be. In any case you've provided waaaaayyy to little information for anyone to be any form of help.

No, its a mail server located in Mauritius.

In that header you can clearly spot the IP adress of somebody.
In mail source code the source IP address is always in received visible, at least thats normal. Privat DE mail's server does remove the IP adress in the first received line in your mail header, so your IP address is not visible, if you send mail via Privat DE's mail server. It is replaced by the IP adress of Privat DE's mail server. A account there is free, but requires registration.
Privat DE Mail is a project driven by data retention in Germany and EU. Most people do not want to be subjects of unlimited surveillance, so Privat DE Mail offers a solution to protect privacy of e-mail communication.

But what is the problem?
Not sending mail using the smtp server or not getting mail or both?
What is in the mail.log and /etc/postfix/main.cf ?

Hi

what I see is that you are not using the TLS port

You can change relayhost = mail.privatdemail.net into relayhost = [mail.privatdemail.net]:587

When sending a test mail ( echo "test" |mail -s test someone@somewhere.com )
you should now get something in the mail logs (mail.err, mail.info, mail.log, mail.warn) in /var/log


I have these settings for TLS for using gmail The /etc/postfix/cacert.pem is a link to /usr/share/ca-certificates/mozilla/Thawte_Premium_Server_CA.crt

Ok, i have changed relayhost = mail.privatdemail.net into relayhost = [mail.privatdemail.net]:587

still, no mail.log or mail.warn files.

maybe i am not using the right ssl certificates ?
They are at the default values at the moment: /etc/ssl/private contains : dovecot.pem ssl-cert-snakeoil.key
and /etc/ssl/certs# a lot of .pem files.

Did you also try to use my TLS configuration?

Eek wrote:Did you also try to use my TLS configuration?

No, im an trying that now.

Eek wrote:Did you also try to use my TLS configuration?

that causes the following error in mail.err :
Jul 14 12:16:22 b3 postfix/smtp[30153]: fatal: open database /etc/postfix/tls_per_site.db: No such file or directory

Oh yeah.

create a file /etc/postfix/tls_per_site with the following contents:

# Contents of /etc/postfix/tls_per_site
# After changes run:
# postmap /etc/postfix/tls_per_site
smtp.gmail.com MUST

then run postmap create a file /etc/postfix/transport with the following contents:

# Contents of /etc/postfix/transport
#
# This sends mail to Gmail
gmail.com smtp:[smtp.gmail.com]:587

then run postmap create a file /etc/postfix/generic with contents like:

eek@localdomain.local eek@gmail.com

then run postmap

I did:
create a file /etc/postfix/tls_per_site with the following contents:

No errors, i can receive mail but it seems that they do not arrive ..
