 Posted: Wed May 09, 2007 7:58 am Post subject: postfix configuration issue |
 |
|
Hi,
I am just using postfix with the mail command.
All I want is send mails using the console (To send mail when backup is complete etc)
It sends mails but use this format:
myuser@myhostname.mydomain
Is it possible to at least change the part after @ because my mailserver doesn't allow mails from it for some reason (I guess because the domain doesn't exists). If the myuser could be replaced that would be a good thing.
I hope anyone could help me out.
| Code: | smtpd_banner = $myhostname ESMTP $mail_name (Debian/GNU)
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
myhostname = voka.be
alias_maps = hash:/etc/aliases
alias_database = hash:/etc/aliases
mydestination = localhost.localdomain, localhost
relayhost = vkmail.voka.local
mynetworks = 127.0.0.0/8
mailbox_command = /usr/bin/procmail
mailbox_size_limit = 0
recipient_delimiter = +
inet_interfaces = all |

Hello
Just change `myorigin` value | Quote: | | The myorigin parameter specifies the domain that appears in mail that is posted on this machine. The default is to use the local machine name, $myhostname, which defaults to the name of the machine. Unless you are running a really small site, you probably want to change that into $mydomain, which defaults to the parent domain of the machine name. |

| Don't try to bodge it in Postfix. Make sure any client/script uses an appropriate FROM address. |
