mail not sending to hotmail and gmail - email

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.

Gmail alias does not receive email

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:
alias+account#gmail.com
Technical details of permanent failure:

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.

Postfix thinks the system email is local

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.)

How to get the "To" receipt from email headers?

I'm developing an email client and just found that some emails do not have a "To" header field thus I don't 'know' who's the email intended for. Only a "From" and "CC" is provided and sometimes a "For" field. Is there any standard how to extract email address that the email is intended for ? (e.g. if To is missing look for For, if that's missing too look for turkeys :). See the sample below from an email I've just got.

Even worse it seems that some emails have a wrong "To" but the email was delivered to my inbox anyway due the "For" header. I'm not sure how I can detect that unless I look in DB to see if the "To" email is actually one of mine.

Numerous emails saying "Failure Notice"

I've been frequently receiving emails with the subject line "failure notice" and I've included one example below.
Should I be concerned about this and what, if any actions do I have available, as it looks like my email address is being used as the return path.
Note I have changed the details sightly to "mydomain.co.uk", the email that is not mine to "removed_not_my_email#yahoo.com" and my email to "my_email#mydomain.co.uk"

There is no verification on the sender in SMTP. Anyone can send email from whatever emailadress they can think of.
Spam & malware is distributed using this fact. Circumventing certain spamfilters because the sender-address/return-path seems legitimate.
The notice that 'content presents a potential 552-5.7.0 security issue' could mean that an executable was attached. Maybe harmless, but probably a virus or malware.
Not nice, but also not much you can do about it.
To avoid your email address being used, in the future, as source of this practice, protect your email address.
Don't post it on webpages in clear.
Use a temporary emailaddress when subscribing to sites and or mailinglists.

Outgoing mail is ending up in spam

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?
