I have an email address "#example.com" through google apps that was able to receive emails up until I installed postfix (and tinkered with the config) on my digital ocean droplet with the same "#example.com" domain. I suspect the emails are now somehow being routed to this droplet instead of the google apps email server but I am not sure how route them back through google apps. For reference, the error I get when sending a test email from my personal account to my google apps account is below:
"Technical details of permanent failure:
Google tried to deliver your message, but it was rejected by the server for the recipient domain example.com [xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx].
The error that the other server returned was:
550 5.1.1 : Recipient address rejected: User unknown in local recipient table"
I can send emails from my google apps account without issue, but after installing and configuring postfix on my droplet they are marked as unauthenticated.
After many hours of digging it appears all I had to do was point the MX records on my Digital Ocean droplet to the google email servers per the 'Add MX records' of this guide: https://www.digitalocean.com/community/tutorials/how-to-set-up-gmail-with-your-domain-on-digitalocean

outgoing mail using gmail not working in moodle after google removed permission for less secure apps. Error: "Your site couldn't communicate with your mail server. Please check your outgoing mail configuration."
I am using subdomain for sending email. for example test.example.com. I have configured DMARC,SPF,MX record, Reverse DNS. Checked with mxtoolbox.com and seems perfect.Also checked the IP for blacklist and non of them blacklisted My IP but when I send mail it recieves in Spam folder in my Gmail account. My server is hosted with Digital ocean ubuntu server. It will be helpful if some one give their suggestion
I have a mac osx server at my office. I have only one email address configured on it because it's an email address outside my GSuite account. That email address was created for sending mails from a php script (I don't want to pay to Google for that email address because I don't need all of the Google Services on it). I configured PHP Mailer for sending mails using that email account.
It's connecting perfectly fine, authentication is correct, etc., but there is one problem: if I send mails to #mydomain.com it says that account doesn't exist, but it does exist, only that it is hosted on GSuite. If I send mails outside mydomain, it works fine.
Question is: how do I route those mails to look up for the correct MX récords? I mean, how to make those #mydomain.com emails reach the GSuite host?
You can have multiple MX records per domain. It is possible. They will use priorities. You can even have multiple email servers checking emails from each other.
However, you case with hosted emails this won't work. Google is not going to let you do this.
You will have to pay.
My client is currently hosting his site on a shared GoDaddy hosting plan, an also his emails accounts. Question is... how can I migrate his website to Digital Ocean and keep the emails on GoDaddy?
I had an recently where I could not receive emails on my goDaddy account once I have moved the nameservers to DO. For anyone facing this issue, the below steps should fix it.
To migrate hosting from goDaddy to DO, follow the below link
https://www.digitalocean.com/community/tutorials/how-to-point-to-digitalocean-nameservers-from-common-domain-registrars
Once you have pointed nameserves, your traffic will be redirected to DO. Now if you want to use the email service provided by goDaddy, you will need to point your DO "MX" records back to godaddy.
First you will need to know the goDaddy incoming email server details. To obtain this, you will need to go to email server settings within your goDaddy Dashboard. The server details will look something like
Incoming server (IMAP):
imap.secureserver.net
Incoming server (POP3):
pop.secureserver.net
You will then need to add these details as MX Records in your Digital ocean domain DNS settings page. DO will then route emails to your goDaddy email service.
These details will take time to reflect. For me it took a day to start receiving emails on goDaddy.
Hope this helps!
Yes, you could just change your zone records to reflect what you want to do. Presumably you want to transfer the DNS zone to Digital Ocean and only keep the email at Godaddy.
In Godaddy's domain name manager you can change over to the Digital Ocean name servers.
ns1.digitalocean.com
ns2.digitalocean.com
ns3.digitalocean.com
Check things out:
dig ns example.com
and
whois example.com
The name servers should be the above DO name servers.
The only thing you need to point back at Godaddy will be Goddady's MX records. unless, of course, you're using Office 365 email, which a lot of Godaddy's customers seem to use, in which case lookup the appropriate MX records for Office 365.
I hope this helps.
This is possible, recently I did the same with Hostgator and GCP ( Mail service from webmail and app in Google Cloud ). These are the steps I followed.
1) Add new A record ( if possible/allowed add with name # ) in your
shared/hosting/cpanel service, and point it to your cloud providers
IP(the IP on which your app is running).
2) Add another A record with name www and point it to the IP of your
service running in the cloud.
3) Delete the CNAME record called mail.
4)Add new A record with name mail and point it to your cpanel /
webmail service providers IP.
5)Add MX record and point it to destination mail.yoursitename.tld and
set the priority as 0
By this point, you will be able to send mail.
6) Add SPF record ( TXT record ) or go to Authentication settings in
the Email section in your cpanel and enable SPF.
7)Go to Email Routing in the Email section in your cpanel and select
your domain then choose Local Mail Exchanger under Configure Email
Routing. That's it now you will be able to receive emails also.
Link to my original answer
I'll start out with my configuration:
example.com mailserver - Google Apps.
example.com - has regular mailings based on queries, sent out daily and weekly. Build in Zend framework, with extJS.
subdomain.example.com - to process the bulk mailings.
Background: I enjoy using google apps features (CRM, calendar, mail, etc), but due to my mail volume I can't send all of my outbound alerts through Google Apps. To work around this, I set up a subdomain on my server and am running my email off of that account.
Problem: I have mail that is generated from example.com, and sent to me#example.com. My server refuses to send this mail and it lands in the root email account. All other emails are delivered without an issue (yahoo, hotmail, yoursite.com, gmail, ...)
I've worked on this all day and can't seem to come up with a solution (aside from sending emails to an outside account).
Has anyone experienced this before? How can it be fixed?
Got it. I had to log into WHM and select that my mail not deliver mail locally.
Main >> DNS Functions >> Edit MX Entry
REMOTE MAIL EXCHANGER: This server will NOT serve as a mail exchanger for containerauction.com's mail.: This configuration has been manually selected.
