postfix mailserver help needed
Hi I am not sure if this is the right place to post asking for a bit of help but ill try anyways.
I have been trying to set up a mail server on my VPS running buntu 10.04.2 LTS (32bit)
I am using MTA postfix mail server. but after lots of configuring I still get all the mail sent going to spam on both hotmail and gmail. here is my set-up and configs:
* I have my own my domain-name (lets call it mycooldomain.com)
* the reverse-DSN for my VPS IP is pointing to "mail.mycooldomain.com."
* MX DNS Record: VPS IP points to "mail.mycooldomain.com" at priority=10
* VPS hostname: "mail.mycooldomain.com"
* Contect of the hosts file (/etc/hosts):
127.0.0.1 localhost.localdomain localhost mail.mycooldomain.com
# Auto-generated hostname. Please do not remove this comment.
174.456.245.223 mail.mycooldomain.com mail
* my postfix config file:
Code:smtpd_banner = $myhostname ESMTP $mail_name biff = no # appending .domain is the MUA's job. append_dot_mydomain = no # Uncomment the next line to generate "delayed mail" warnings #delay_warning_time = 4h myhostname = mycooldomain.com alias_maps = hash:/etc/aliases alias_database = hash:/etc/aliases myorigin = mycooldomain.com mydestination = $mycooldomain.com, localhost.$mycooldomain.com, , localhost relayhost = mynetworks = 127.0.0.0/8 mailbox_command = procmail -a "$EXTENSION" mailbox_size_limit = 0 recipient_delimiter = + inet_interfaces = all html_directory = /usr/share/doc/postfix/html
Any help to configure this correctly to to send out emails that end in spam, will be more then greatly appreciated!

UPDATE:
When I put in the postfix config:
instead of the original:Code:myorigin = $mydomain
the emails DONT go to spam but the sender details are "root@com" and I want them to be "root@mycooldomain.com"Code:myorigin = mycooldomain.com
any help will be greatly appreciated !
