Now I setup google smtp settings and my emails are flowing properly to my realdomain as well.

but from my realdomain to my realdomain emails are not sending.

now can I change from email address to my realdomain email address instead of showing gmail email address for notifications.

This ends up being delivered to [email protected], right?

(As far as I know smtp_generic_maps rewrites both sender and recipient addressesā€¦)

Are you sure about this or is is more something like [email protected] or [email protected]?

(I am basing myself on your previous posts where you used those domain names or message IDsā€¦

This is what you would want to rewrite to [email protected], no?

If this is, you would replace what is in generic with

[email protected] [email protected]

or

[email protected] [email protected]

and then do a

postmap hash:/etc/postfix/generic

to update the tableā€¦

As I said as far I know smtp_generic_maps rewrites both sender and recipient addresses, I think only canonical_maps can specify sender or recipient so on the left side you want only want to specify the phony domainā€¦

Good luck and have a nice day!
