We use Ubuntu Server and in a days I have installed and configured Postfix+Dovecot+MySQL as it is explained here. From that tutorial I escaped creating certificates and antispam application. Right now it works good but when I try to send an email to GMail I am getting back my email with following content:

Our system has

I tried to send to another outside domain and my email had been sent successfully. What can I do to resolve this problem?

Sounds like your IP address was being used by a spammer before and Google blacklisted it, or that your system is sending email too quickly. I would follow the recommendations listed at http://www.google.com/mail/help/bulk_mail.html as they mentioned.

I have solved the problem adding postmaster email account to our domain. It was just one guess of my friend and I don't know why but it started to work normally.

Another problem might be that the client you are using is not setting the Message-ID header. To fix that with dovecot use:

always_add_missing_headers=yes

Funny thing is, in my case it was the GMail mobile client for android which has this behaviour and failed to send mails to *@gmail.com
