Hi guys.
I'm using postfix.
and I noticed that I received lots of spam emails that were sent from my domain (dd4bb.com) and when I checked the header of the spam mail I saw that it used my domain ip too..


and beside that if I send any mails it is delivered to spam box.


so is that some kind of mis-configured settings or security holes in my postfix/mx configurations?

as more information, the following is the header of one of the spam messages that I have received
Code:
Delivered-To: mymail@gmail.com

Looks like postfix is simply accepting mail for that address at your domain, and forwarding it onto your gmail account. Nothing unusual, though if you want your own server to be the primary mx for your domain, spam filtering at ACL/smtp time would be a good idea. Your mail server doesn't seem to be acting as an open relay, anyway.

Otherwise, just point your mx records directly to google apps/gmail. Apparently it's free for the standard edition.
