I recently switched over to Google Apps to handle emails for my domains. I can successfully send and receive emails from these Google Apps emails using Mozilla Thunderbird or the standard google interface.

I'm running Wordpress v3 with cforms contact form on my sites. I've set up the contact form to send the submissions to my domain@domain.com running google apps and my yahoo & gmail addresses. I receive any contact form submissions at my yahoo & gmail email accounts, but not at my google apps email inbox. Before Google Apps, I would receive contact form submissions at my domain@domain inbox, now I do not.

If I go into Webmin > Servers > Read User Mail and then click the domain name with the contact form, all the submissions are found there.

My MX:

Quote:
ASPMX2.GOOGLEMAIL.COM 30 3600 (1 hour)
ALT2.ASPMX.L.GOOGLE.COM 20 3600 (1 hour)
ALT1.ASPMX.L.GOOGLE.COM 20 3600 (1 hour)
ASPMX.L.GOOGLE.COM 10 3600 (1 hour)
ASPMX3.GOOGLEMAIL.COM 30 3600 (1 hour)
ASPMX4.GOOGLEMAIL.COM 30 3600 (1 hour)
ASPMX5.GOOGLEMAIL.COM 30 3600 (1 hour)


My SPF:

Quote:
v=spf1 include:_spf.google.com ~all


Some PostFix settings:

Quote:
What domain to use in outbound mail: Use domainname
What domains to receive mail for: Whole domain
Send outgoing mail via host: Deliver directly


I'm running Ubuntu 8.04.3 LTS, Virtualmin v3.80, Google Apps, Dovecot and Postfix. I am not running msmtprc.

So postfix is sending the emails for wordpress correct? If so you need to change your spf to

Code:
v=spf1 a include:_spf.google.com ~all

Thank you for the response.

I've adjusted the TXT record to:

Quote:
v=spf1 a include:_spf.google.com ~all


I set the TTL to 3600 (1 Hour).

But contact form is still not sending to the google apps inbox, yet sends to my yahoo & gmail inbox. The contact form submissions are still found in Webmin > Servers > Read User Mail.

Ah wait sorry I missed the part where you said it was being retrieved locally.

You need to set the "mydestination" line of your /etc/postfix/main.cf to
Code:
mydestination =  localhost, localhost.$mydomain, localhost


then restart postfix

Edit: oh also keep the spf record with the additional 'a' you'll need it when you start sending from your server.

Should I have myorigin be:

Quote:
myorigin = $mydomain


or should I have it be:

Quote:
myorigin = /etc/mailname


or something else?

Restarted Postfix but still not sending the submissions to my google apps inbox (yet successfully sends to my yahoo/gmail inboxes).

Here's my /etc/postfix/main.cf:

What does your postfix mail.log say?

Thank you for the help obs.

Here's the most recent section of the mail log after I restarted Postfix and tried the contact form again. Where you see MYSERVER is where my server name goes. Where you see DOMAIN is the domain name where the contact form is. You can also see when the contact form is sending to the yahoo mail account. I have no clue what the other domain names are, like wep6, 4girls.ws, guvan.com, mailza, atlaskit - those aren't my domains:

Ok looks like you have a few issues...

1) You possibly have an open relay due to the connect messages from strange domains, you should check at http://www.abuse.net/relay.html
2) Your mail is being sent from ns1.MYSERVER.com this is probably not your desired from, I imagine it should be MYSERVER.com or mail.MYSERVER.com check your hostname and /etc/mailname
3) Once you correct number 2) your bounced messages from lines like " to=<www-data@ns1.MYSERVER.com>, relay=none, delay=0, delays=0/0/0/0, dsn=5.4.4, status=bounced (Host or domain name not found. Name service error for name$ " should reach you and you can diagnose the issue.

Thanks a ton for the help obs.

Tried abuse.net, put in my server ip address, and got a good result:

Relay test result
All tests performed, no relays accepted.


About ns1.myserver.com... I choose that because I had read in the virtualmin documentation and forums that you need a FQDM as the hostname so I had chosen ns1.myserver.com:

http://www.virtualmin.com/node/13246

Quote:
An FQDN is typically in the form of "hostname.domain.com". That is, pick a domain name that you want to use for your server... for many folks, this is their company domain name, or perhaps a personal domain that you host. Then, add onto that an arbitrary hostname. And then you've got your FQDN! Afterwards, what you'd want to do is setup a DNS 'a' record for your FQDN. So if you setup "hostname.domain.com" as your FQDN, you'll need to set it up so that the name resolves to an IP address. If you're hosting DNS on your Virtualmin server, you can setup the 'a' record in Services -> DNS Domain.

Fully qualified domain name

If your system does not have a fully qualified domain name (FQDN), the installer will stop and ask you to choose one. This is mandatory because many services rely on having a fully qualified domain name in order to function. Mail, in particular, but some Apache configurations and many of the Virtualmin-created configuration files, also require a valid fully qualified domain name to function correctly. A fully qualified domain name is one of the form "www.virtualmin.com", or simply "virtualmin.com". We recommend you choose a name that is not one for which you will be receiving mail, in order to simplify later configuration. A good choice is to use a name server designator, such as "ns1.virtualmin.com". Some customers also choose something like "host1.virtualmin.com" or "primary.virtualmin.com". Any of these would be valid and would satisfy the install script and the services that rely on this option. The install script will add this name to /etc/hosts, which will satisfy all local services. It is even better if this name resolves correctly when looked up from outside of the system--this requires the name be added to your DNS zone for the second level domain. If the Virtualmin server you are installing will be the authoritative name server for this zone, you can later use Webmin to add a record for this name to the zone.


Do I have to use something like ns1.myserver.com or can I just use myserver.com or even just myserver as my server hostname?

well it does have to be a FQDN but your emails are being sent from ns1.MYSERVER.COM and bounced back to it...but ns1.myserver.com doesn't appear to have any MX records

Aug 18 21:57:28 ns1 postfix/smtp[25134]: 48E6F1A56D: to=<www-data@ns1.MYSERVER.com>, relay=none, delay=0, delays=0/0/0/0, dsn=5.4.4, status=bounced (Host or domain name not found. Name service error for name$

which made me assume you should have set it to MYSERVER.COM

Ensure ns1.MYSERVER.COM has A and MX records set, not just MYSERVER.COM
