Gmail deliverability issue when MIAB setup as a relay

Scenario:

mail.siteservice.net (Server 1) is a fresh MIAB install.
A new user account and DNS entries are all setup correctly.

vps1.mediaserve.ca (Server 2) is a standard web server setup.
Postfix has been configured to use Server 1 as an SMTP relay using sasl as outlined here

Emails are getting through to Gmail but ending up in spam even though Gmail is giving it a “PASS” grade. Raw headers below. Can anyone provide some help/insight? Thanks.

Content perhaps?

Have you sent the same content to mail-tester.com? If so, what were the results?

The content is just along the lines of a Wordpress test email.

I didn’t know about that site, looking into it now - it only scored a 6.5/10.

That is a problem … check that sites recommendations and make the changes suggested, or if you have questions, PM me the link and I will see what the issues are and translate if needed.

Unfortunately i’m not able to PM yet, but I would appreciate you checking it out. The test email had some bad mime headers so it now scores an 8.3. Here is the link.

There is a Barracuda issue that I’ve already submitted a request on. I would love to know how to tell my Ubuntu Postfix to use the DKIM signature from MIAB?
