postfix - What settings should my email server be mindful of to avoid bounce back from major email providers?




So I think my postfix+dovecot+roundcube+postfixadmin+sasl+spamassassin+amavisd-new+postgrey setup is working correctly. I can send out emails to certain domain names. Receiving definitely works; however, when i send out emails to hotmail for instance I get a bounce back. Even worse yahoo doesn't even bounce it just kills the email all together.



I don't think I have been blacklisted or anything (maybe I have been? I don't even know.) so I am assuming that these companies don't like that some of my settings don't match up in my headers or something. Perhaps I have an IP or Server name instead of domain name somewhere or something. I am not sure.



Also is there a way to confirm that I have password protected SMTP? I am pretty sure it is; however, How can I be sure?



Here is the bounce back email:
