postfix not sending mail in Ubuntu 15.04

Question

I have installed postfix in Ubuntu as Mail server. But the problem is I am not able to send mail from PHP mail function.

PHP Code

$to =  "[email protected]";
$subject = "Test mail";
$message = "Please ignore this e-mail.";
$headers  = 'MIME-Version: 1.0' . "\r\n";
$headers .= 'Content-type: text/html; charset=iso-8859-1' . "\r\n";
$headers .= "From: 'xyz'<[email protected]>";

Error log

It looks like gmail is marking it as spam and dropping it, and one of the posibles reasons can be because he can't trust your server.

You can try to establish a reverse DNS and maybe if the gmail servers can resolve a DNS lookup, they would'nt discard the message from your server.

In this article you can read a guide about configuring a postfix server to send messages with gmail.
