Postfix sendmail command receipient not showing up in mail header












-1














I am trying to send an email from my gmail account to another email account using postfix's command echo content | sendmail myaccount@other.edu, the mail seemed to be delivered to the gmail server, and the actual mail showed up in my gmail outbox, but not in the inbox of myaccount@other.edu. And when I inspected the mail, the original message header didn't even contain myaccount@other.edu. What went wrong? Can anyone help me?



Below is my postfix configuration:



myhostname = gmail.com
alias_maps = hash:/etc/aliases
alias_database = hash:/etc/aliases
mydestination = localhost, localhost.localdomain
relayhost = [smtp.gmail.com]:587
smtp_use_tls = yes
smtp_sasl_auth_enable = yes
smtp_sasl_security_options = noanonymous
smtp_sasl_password_maps = hash:/etc/postfix/sasl_passwd
smtp_tls_CAfile = /etc/ssl/certs/ca-certificates.crt
mynetworks = 127.0.0.0/8 [::ffff:127.0.0.0]/104 [::1]/128
mailbox_size_limit = 0
recipient_delimiter = +
inet_interfaces = all
inet_protocols = all
home_mailbox = Maildir/
virtual_alias_maps = hash:/etc/postfix/virtual



And here is the email header that I found in my outbox:




Bcc: wallet@gmail.com
Return-Path:
Received: from gmail.com ([216.127.196.189])

  • You are not gmail.com, so why does your server have myhostname = gmail.com? If you are trying to set the From header of sent mail to something@gmail.com, you are doing it wrong.

  • So what should I put in myhostname? I thought it had to be a FQDN.

  • No, it does not have to be a FQDN, especially if you are sending through a relay.

  • But what should I put as myhostname? If I leave it as blank, the server would respond with an error, saying my local domain is not found. e.g. The response was: DNS Error: 8530627 DNS type 'mx' lookup of wallet-n550jv.localdomain responded with code NXDOMAIN Domain name not found: wallet-n550jv.localdomain
