[TriLUG] (Solved) Re: Weird Postfix/Cyrus + GMail behavior - messages going to root at domain

Thu Aug 2 18:40:59 EDT 2012

Ok, dilemma over. Turns out that the GMail messages were resulting in
an email *from* Postfix
to the root inbox, telling me that it didn't accept the original
message because of a TLS problem.
Why delivery from other domains seemed to be working isn't completely
clear to me, but - for now - I've just disabled TLS on the Postfix
server and everything seems to be working fine.

On a related note... does anyone know if you can get by with a
self-signed certificate for TLS, or do you need a "real" cert signed
by Verisign or whoever?

Thanks,

Phil
