Hi luvwinnie,

Please add the following configuration option to your /etc/postfix/main.cf:

always_add_missing_headers = yes

Usually, the MUA is responsible for adding all relevant headers which seems to not be the case here and recently, Google introduced a stronger Antispam policy on their edge servers and is now refusing mails with missing headers, but Postfix can automatically add them with this option.

Thank you so much! I’m able to send email!
