Hi Michael, You are the first to report this, though it does make sense. From the msmtp documentation... -- ‘domain argument’ This command sets the argument of the SMTP EHLO (or LMTP LHLO) command. The default is ‘localhost’, which is stupid but usually works. Try to change the default if mails get rejected due to anti-SPAM measures. Possible choices are the domain part of your mail address (provider.example for [email protected]) or the fully qualified domain name of your host (if available). --
Any suggestions how to handle this ? I suspect that improperly setting the "domain" option could cause more issues than the default 'localhost' value is currently. My hunch is simply setting: -- domain $DOMAIN -- could cause issues if the SMTP server did a DNS lookup of $DOMAIN and try to match it with the actual client IP address. I'm thinking we should have a new variable for this. We already have the variable SMTP_DOMAIN related to addressing the envelope-from address (maildomain). How about SMTP_HOST_DOMAIN for setting the "domain" option ? Lonnie On Aug 24, 2012, at 1:14 PM, Neuer User wrote: > Hi > > I can't get astlinux to send emails.
