I can receive emails from gmail, however certain other servers are getting rejected when they try to send emails to my server
Here are the logs when I tried to get authentication from startcom.org as well as some other server attempting to send me something the day before.

I use:
- Roundcube as an IMAP client (probably irrelevant)
- Dovecot for auth with virtual users on MySQL
- Postfix as mail software (
postconf
output here)
I suspect this has something to do with my server being restrictive on SSL/TLS auth, but how do I configure my server so that it will accept almost anything
