    Hi,

    I'm using the current stable release off ISPconfig - great tool!
    Today a user reported an issue with the autoresponder.

    User [email protected] sends an email to [email protected].

    [email protected] => [email protected]

    The ispconfig-user has autoresponder activated and represents the local user usr4_test

    [email protected]
    + usr4_test
    + autoresponder enabled
    + POP3/IMAP/SMTP works fine


    Instead of successfully delivering the autoresponder-message to [email protected], the ispconfig-host is rejected by foreignhost.tld because of its sendername.

    Let's see the Diagnostic-Code:

    Code:
    Diagnostic-Code: X-Postfix; host dsxx-xx-xxx-xxx.domain.tld[xx-xx-xxx-xxx]
        said: 504 <usr_4test@localhost>: Sender address rejected: need
        fully-qualified address (in reply to RCPT TO command)
    

    It's easy to figure out the issue – the recipient's mailserver rejects mails from sender which domains it couldn't resolve.
    Postfix acts like this by adding the following lines to main.cf

    Code:
    smtpd_recipient_restrictions = permit_sasl_authenticated,
        permit_mynetworks,
        reject_invalid_hostname,
        reject_non_fqdn_hostname,
        reject_non_fqdn_sender,
        reject_non_fqdn_recipient,
        reject_unknown_sender_domain,
        reject_unknown_recipient_domain,
        reject_unauth_pipelining,
        reject_unauth_destination,
    
    So…

    I think this problem could be solved, if the autoresponder uses an email-alias instead of its local-username.

    Is there a patch anywhere? Or does my installation misbehave?

    Regards from Germany,

    Yves

    Do you have entries for myhostname and/or mydomain in /etc/postfix/main.cf? What's the output of
    Code:
    hostname
    and
    Code:
    hostname -f
    ?

    hostname
    hostname -f

    both put out the correct hostname (ds11-22-33-44)

    The main.cf has the following interesting values:

    myhostname = ds11-22-33-44.domain.tld
    myorigin = localhost
    virtual_alias_domains = ds11-22-33-44.domain.tld

    Solved

    Hi,

    solved. The problem was in /etc/hosts where I had to add the hostname to the line which referred to 127.0.0.1 localhost.

    Thx,

    Yves
