Hello,
I have two identical CentOS 6.2 machines with stock Postfix package and unchanged config:
# rpm -qa|grep post postfix-2.6.6-2.2.el6_1.x86_64
# postconf -n alias_database = hash:/etc/aliases alias_maps = hash:/etc/aliases command_directory = /usr/sbin config_directory = /etc/postfix daemon_directory = /usr/libexec/postfix data_directory = /var/lib/postfix debug_peer_level = 2 html_directory = no inet_interfaces = localhost inet_protocols = all mail_owner = postfix mailq_path = /usr/bin/mailq.postfix manpage_directory = /usr/share/man mydestination = $myhostname, localhost.$mydomain, localhost newaliases_path = /usr/bin/newaliases.postfix queue_directory = /var/spool/postfix readme_directory = /usr/share/doc/postfix-2.6.6/README_FILES sample_directory = /usr/share/doc/postfix-2.6.6/samples sendmail_path = /usr/sbin/sendmail.postfix setgid_group = postdrop unknown_local_recipient_reject_code = 550
On both machines I have appended
afarber: Alexander.Farber@gmail.com root: Alexander.Farber@gmail.com
to the /etc/aliases and run "newaliases".
Both machines have several cronjobs and logwatch.
One machine is a database server, I receive its cronjob mails just fine.
The other machine (preferans.de) is running Drupal 7. I've configured it's MX records to point to Google Apps, so that I can receive mails addressed to that domain and this works well.
Also I've set Drupal's From address to webmaster@prŠµferans.de and so sending mails by Drupal (for its user registration) works too.
But sending mails to my Gmail address by cronjobs doesn't work. I suspect this happens, because Google is too clever and it thinks that mails coming from "preferans.de" shouldn't have the From header set to "afarber@static.169.40.9.176.clients.your-server.de"

So does anybody please have an advice on how to fix my cronjob mails?
