I have read (https://support.google.com/mail/answer/12096?hl=en) that any Gmail account can receive emails for its plus alias.
So for account#gmail.com when I send email to alias+account#gmail.com
I receive following reply:
Delivery to the following recipient failed permanently:

Do I need to enable something? Or this functionality is no longer available?
You need to put it the other way around, so instead of alias+account#gmail.com, use account+alias#gmail.com.

I installed Postfix on an Ubuntu 14.04 server running Nginx. While I was installing it, I put the system email as 'info#mydomain.com' not realising that it would now think that this was a local mailbox. This email address is a gmail account and so the server needs to look at the MX records.
I'm guessing what is happening is that it sees that its a local address and just sends it locally. I sent a test with:
echo "This is the body of the email" | mail -s "This is the subject line" info#mydomain.com
And sure enough in /var/mail/root there was a message:

I'm not sure how I can get the server to send the emails to the right place? Should I change the system email to something random?
I'm guessing that you've probably got the machine installed with mydomain.com as the hostname and so Postfix is configured to think it's answering email for mydomain.com. You probably want to edit your /etc/postfix/main.cf and remove your domain from the mydestination line there. (And then restart Postfix.)
My application uses PHPMailer to send email through gmail. It was previously working fine, but it appears maybe now gmail is categorizing my email as spam before it is sent out to the recipients. Below is an example of one of the messages that were rejected. I removed URL and Email addresses to protect the innocent. Is this as simple as making t he email body text better so it isn't seems as spam, or is there a more precise fix for this?

i have a problem with sending email from my server to hotmail and gmail. seems the mail is just dropped, no returned bounce email notices etc. the emails just vanish. I have looked around for solutions on the net but nothing seems to help. below are the email headers of one mail which is send correctly to another big provider, without any problem. As i cant make any sense of it as to why hotmail is rejecting these mails, i hope someone can make something of it and give me directions on maybe a solution:

I have dkim installed, tested all settings with mxtoolbox (dns, smtp etc) al seems to be right, but still Hotmail and Gmail is not accepting emails from my server (which holds about 25 domains, all sending through this server).
thanks!
Gmail ending up in spam is related to designated user not being able to send out through main server. case you have server: mail.server.com and you are sending mail with my.domain.com, the spf record needs to hold the ip6 of mail.server.com in spf. Obviously rDNS needs to be correct. For the hotmail problem, this is purely microsoft. you can check up with support from outlook.com, but only thing you get is "we dont block your server, although some emails are filtered. this can be caused by mitigation time, which can take up to 48 hours". Thats it. No messages are returned, simply dropped. Maybe msn.com outlook.com and live.com are experiencing the same problem.
I have a problem with all the mails sent from my company, often ending up in the recipients spam folder. It's from approximately 5-6 different mail adresses sending from the same mail server. We have a dedicated server that is both hosting out website aswell as managing all mails and so forth.
We usually don't get any error messages when the mails either never arrives, or ends up in the recipients spam folder.
But we received this 1 error message, so i hope you have an idea of what to do to keep our mails out of the spam folders. We might have to hire external developers to take care of the problem, i just want to get an idea of what the problem is, so i know if i can fix it, or tell the developers what to do.
"ANON" is put in, to keep mails involved anonymous. Should i delete anything else?

I needed to edit the MX records for the domains sending the mails, as the domains and websites were on the same server the mail server couldn't comprehend it.
Everyone knows changing mail address in address bar and pretending to send mail from someone else's accout is easy..
so i looked up on google "find out where email came from"
some of the links suggest-- 1. Log into your account and open the email in question.
Click on the down arrow that’s to the right of the Reply link. Choose Show Original from the list.
Now here’s the technical part that I was telling you about earlier! You need to look for the lines of text that start with “Received: from“.
I did all above steps but found out that gmail uses mail client ip as sender ip and not the ip of that particular PC(For security purpose they say...) It has sender's IP as mr. google.com and some private netwk IP(10.43.103.195)
so now my problem is -- is there any damn way in the world to trace where the hell did this mail come from??!!(at least IP of sender)?
This is the header i got when i followed above 3 steps which is of no use...--

If the sender uses gmail/yahoo/hotmail etc. to send an email (ie. if they don't use a third-party software like Outlook or Thunderbird), there is no way to find out the "PC IP address" because it's hidden for 'privacy reasons.' Probably the only legitimate way (other than through legal means) is to ask the sender to reveal their IP address (using such tools like https://verifyyourip.com).
