Looking the source message, we see it is due to a forwarder from twitter to a gmail account:

- Solution 1 — Install postsrsd
- As reported here, the issue may be due to SPF, which "breaks" mail forwarding: we forward a mail with
@twitter.comas sender domain, but our server is not authorized by the SPF record in twitter.com domain. The solution is to use SRS, which rewrites the sender address to match the domain of the forwarding server. - See Configuration Noekeon.org.
- Solution 2 — Add offending sender to Gmail account contact list
- May stop GMail to see your mail server as a bulk-sender-whatever.
- Solution 3 — Install opendkim
- Not tested yet.
- Solution 4 — Use POP3 on Gmail to fetch from remote account
- This bypass Gmail filtering and hence we avoid the problem.
- Final solution — Clear mail queue
Fed up of logcheck spam because postfix can't forward the mail? Then just clear the Postfix queue :
mailq
