@Anne Thanks for the suggestion, but it doesn't appear to have any effect after restarting postfix: Jan 8 14:27:57 localhost postfix/smtp[303]: 034CCD3386: to=<cb@xxxxxx>, relay=smtp.wanadoo.nl[193.252.22.234]:25, delay=1.5, delays=0.57/0/0.78/0.15, dsn=4.0.0, status=SOFTBOUNCE (host smtp.wanadoo.nl[193.252.22.234] said: 553 <colin@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>: Sender address rejected: Domain not found (in reply to RCPT TO command)) @Michael
2 questions:
Are these questions for me? If so:
- How is the mail injected into the system? Via mail/sendmail (command line) or directly via SMTP (good ol' 25/tcp)
Up until the switch, mail from Thunderbird/kmal was sent via local postfix. Now I have tried sending mail directly to the ISP's SMTP server or via postfix locally using the latter's "relayhost" parameter. Both seem to work ok. However, I also have a bunch of scripts that send system mail which are now broken, and this is my main focus.
- What does postconf -n say?
$ postconf -n command_directory = /usr/sbin config_directory = /etc/postfix daemon_directory = /usr/libexec/postfix debug_peer_level = 2 html_directory = no inet_interfaces = all mail_owner = postfix mailq_path = /usr/bin/mailq.postfix manpage_directory = /usr/share/man masquerade_domains = |ariel.lim.nl mydestination = $myhostname, localhost.$mydomain, localhost mydomain = lim.nl myhostname = ariel.lim.nl myorigin = $mydomain newaliases_path = /usr/bin/newaliases.postfix queue_directory = /var/spool/postfix readme_directory = /usr/share/doc/postfix-2.3.3/README_FILES relayhost = smtp.wanadoo.nl sample_directory = /usr/share/doc/postfix-2.3.3/samples sendmail_path = /usr/sbin/sendmail.postfix setgid_group = postdrop soft_bounce = yes unknown_local_recipient_reject_code = 550
What about the append_dot_mydomain / append_at_myorigin values? (The latter are especially useful if you're injecting "unqualified" usernames (ie "colin" or "root") in via CLI mail/sendmail.
This sounds promising, but according to mail.cf.default, these are both already set in postfix to "yes" by default. Adding them to main.cf doesn't appear to have any effect. -- Colin Brace Amsterdam
