returned mail

Hi,
The from email is wrong.
Mail Delivery System<[email protected]>
I need to change this above. when failed mails are sent back.
how and where please.. thanks

When one of my clients wrongly types an [email protected] and it flies back saying who or what your sending to does not exits.. honest i looked it up gov!!!
It replies back as the following

Code:

This is the mail system at host mail.tlsystems.co.uk.

I'm sorry to have to inform you that your message could not
be delivered to one or more recipients. It's attached below.

For further assistance, please send mail to postmaster.

If you do so, please include this problem report. You can
delete your own text from the attached returned message.

                   The mail system

<user@domain>: host
   .......] said: 550 5.4.1
    Recipient address rejected: Access denied. AS(201........)
    [...........] (in reply to RCPT TO
    command)

 

Check your hostname with "hostname -f" and check the /etc/postfix/main.cf

 

yes and no.
the hostname -f = mail.tlsystems.co.uk and the /etc/postfix/main.cf does also show myhostname = mail.tlsystems.co.uk
my question again is..
when an email is incorrectly written to someone and bounced back my mail server sends it to me as "Mail Delivery System <[email protected]>"
I want to change this to my domain

 

In the main.cf what does the line "myorigin =" set? May set it to "myorigin = $mydomain"

 

Thanks for reply..
it states..

Code:

myorigin = /etc/mailname

so, i should just update the contents of

Code:

/etc/mailname

and put my hostname there, or is it better to have something

Code:

myorigin = $hostname

or something like that?

Hi, Chief I'm having the same problem but I saw something about the PTR. Do you know how to configure it, or is this the problem?
Thank you.

 

Hey,
No problem
My ISP assigned my a batch of 16 IP's, i email their relevent dept with the required hostname of the server and the IP i am assigning it. They update their end and usually 24 hrs it all done.
To verify your PTR record us mxtoolbox.com, type a domain and then click MXlookup, ignore this, then type your server IP in box choose REVERSE lookup and search.
It should give you a table with 3 entries, test type, IP and hostname returned.
You have to get your ISP to update this, as they control the dns entries and its only them who can alter it.

 

Thanks for the answer. But how can I make this? I do it manually or the ISP takes it automatically? Because in the MXlookup my Reverse DNS is pointing to another domain.
I think this could be the cause of the errors.

 

PTR Records (aka Reverse DNS) are usually maintained by the ISPs. You'll probably need to contact them to have the PTR record attributed correctly.
