I am facing this issue, I use the default postfix MTA in centos but the mail end up in user spam folder, but this does not seem to be a problem in Debian using exim4, both host have hostname and domain name configured, and relay mail through external smtp host. Both configuration and recieving email header are attached.
The different seems that Debian has this additional (envelope tag) and (from) tag other than some minor syntax differences.
Any help to resolve is appreciated.
The IP address and DNS is masked as follow:
1.2.3.4 = My IP address
smtp.host.com = external smtp host for my company
[email protected] = account at smtp host
centos.abc.com = Local centos server
debian.abc.com = Local debian server
Thanks.
Centos main.cf config with the following params configured
myhostname = centos.abc.com
mydomain = abc.com
myorigin = centos.abc.com
relayhost = smtp.host.com
