My emails for my domain name is hosted by gmail and I have set the mx records to google's in my domain host. So my emails were working perfectly.
But after I have my domain name (nameservers) pointed to a cloud server in which I use Postfix for sending mails, my emails stopped working - I can't receive. Only can send out. This is my Postfix config:
// /etc/postfix/main.cf
# See /usr/share/postfix/main.cf.dist for a commented, more complete version
# Debian specific: Specifying a file name will cause the first
# line of that file to be used as the name. The Debian default
# is /etc/mailname.
#myorigin = /etc/mailname
smtpd_banner = $myhostname ESMTP $mail_name (Ubuntu)
biff = no
# appending .domain is the MUA's job.
append_dot_mydomain = no
# Uncomment the next line to generate "delayed mail" warnings
#delay_warning_time = 4h
readme_directory = no
# See http://www.postfix.org/COMPATIBILITY_README.html -- default to 2 on
# fresh installs.
compatibility_level = 2
# TLS parameters
smtpd_tls_cert_file=/etc/ssl/certs/ssl-cert-snakeoil.pem
smtpd_tls_key_file=/etc/ssl/private/ssl-cert-snakeoil.key
smtpd_tls_security_level=may
smtp_tls_CApath=/etc/ssl/certs
smtp_tls_security_level=may
smtp_tls_session_cache_database = btree:${data_directory}/smtp_scache
smtpd_relay_restrictions = permit_mynetworks permit_sasl_authenticated defer_unauth_destination
myhostname = localhost
alias_maps = hash:/etc/aliases
alias_database = hash:/etc/aliases
myorigin = /etc/mailname
mydestination = $myhostname, localhost.$mydomain, localhost, $mydomain
relayhost =
mynetworks = 127.0.0.0/8 [::ffff:127.0.0.0]/104 [::1]/128
mailbox_size_limit = 0
recipient_delimiter = +
inet_interfaces = loopback-only
inet_protocols = ipv4
But when I tried to send emails to my email accounts, e.g. lau@something.com:
echo "This is a test email body." | mail -s "Subject" -a "From: something.lau@gmail.com" lau@something.com
I get an error in the log, for example:

I have set an SPF record at my domain host already, for example:
v=spf1 ip4:xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx include:_spf.google.com ~all
This works before the nameservers for my domain name was fully propagated. But now it just stopped working.
What else have I missed?
