The Perfect Setup - Ubuntu 6.10 Server (Edgy Eft) mail problem

Hello

I have a question about The Perfect Setup - Ubuntu 6.10 Server (Edgy Eft),
At first i want to say i really like the howto, thanks! It is very useful.
But now i have a problem, when i send mail via squirrelmail to my other email, it says: 'from: web6_*name*@example.com
I think i made a mistake and copied the text '@example.com' without
changing it to my own hostname.
Do you know what i have to change or where i can change it?

Thanks, and i hope you understand what i mean, my english is not that
good.

With frienly regards,
Marinus

 

Well, that files where both good, then i ran the command

But it still gives 'from: web6_*name*@example.com'

restarted postfix, didn't work too

 

You need to set the return address manually in Squirrelmail under the options.

 

Ahh, that fixes it!

Thanks martinfst!

also thanks everybody who has taken the time to read my topic.

 

Hello,

I have quite the same problem, but I have a Suse 10.1 perfect setup / ISPConfig 2.28 Server running.
When I send mails from squirrelmail I also get webXX_*name*@example.com as the senders' address.

But I do not have the /etc/mailname and /etc/hostname files. How can I fix it?
And is there really no possibility to make squirrelmail change webXX_*name* into the according accountname automatically?

Thank you,
regards, Tom

 

No, because you can use whatever return address you want and thus maintain multiple identities / email addresses.

You don't need those to set the return address to your personal requirements in Squirrelmail

 

Hi,

You mean I can change the '@example.com' part there, too?

Thanks,
Tom

 

Yes, you can
