Forward GMail

[Snake86]

Hey all, I have set that an e-mail adress must forward to my GMail adres. That works, but when I'm trying to send an e-mail from a GMail account, it just doesn't forward it:confused:.

Can sombody please help me:), Thanks...

And I think the server time is wrong, it stands almost 10 minutes later than here:eek:.

You're a bit confusing.

What do you mean? When you send an email to your local address does it get forwarded to GMAIL? If not, does it end up in any local mailbox?

What other function are you looking for that doesn't work?

If your server time is off you'll have to contact your webhosting company as only they can change it.

Jeff Sorry for the confusing part, i'm Dutch and I don't know how I can discribe it well.

The e-mail adress: snake86@mydomain.com is forwareded to snake86@gmail.com.

But when I'm sending an e-mail from any GMail account to snake86@mydomain.com I don't get any new messages, if I'll send an e-mail from Hotmail or any other e-mail client to that adress the e-mail get forward and it workes perfectly.

But why aren't the e-mails from GMail not forwarded? And I don't get an e-mail back that the sending has be wrong or something...

And about the time, I mean the time here on the forum:rolleyes:.

Snake86,

There are lot of Dutch-speaking folk on these forums, including my partner Onno.

The only way you're going to know anything about email from gmail.com reaching you is by searching your logs, perhaps in realtime, using tail -f /var/log/exim/mainlog as you send the email from gmail.

Do you have your domain configured to use SpamBlocker? If so, then gmail could be blocked because it occasionally gets into blocklists. We recommend putting gmail.com into /etc/virtual/whitelist-domains.

Yes, the DirectAdmin server time is off. I presume we have to live with that :) .

Yes, but then You can log via telnet to smtp server and sent any message to anyone with sender address for example admin@gmail.com!!

[nobaloney]

azet,

Yes, and you can also simply send email from any return address at gmail.com, to any other address, through your server, without a telnet login.

Alternatives are to either list all gmail senders in /etc/virtual/whitelist-senders, or to list all the gmail outgoing servers in /etc/virtual/whitelist-hosts, or to remove the blocklists (from your exim.conf file) that list gmail.

Of those we now recommend listing all the gmail servers.

I think I can't get in that folders, or there hidden the folders, the server is not my own. I have Gmail (*@gmail.com) also added to the white list, but still no results:(. I've also contacted the server administator, he have tried it on the same server and it worked fine, only by me it doesn't... Is there any possibility to look at the logs with Direct Admin or something...

Thanks, Snake

If it's not your server you really need to take it up with your server administrator, as they're the only ones that can follow the suggestions we post here.

The best bet is as I posted above, in /etc/virtual/whitelist-hosts, and to have your domain listed in /etc/virtual/use_rbl_domains.

But you can't do this yourself.

All right, I'll do that:), Thanks for your help everybody:).
