Thanks Lonnie Interestingly all my other mails have a from address of r...@ipcsolutions.com.au but from my script its 3...@ipcsolutions.com.au and being rejected by my mail server. What specifies the from address?
e.g. Sep 30 09:32:38 3999-IBCBuild-CM1 mail.err msmtp: host=smtp.ipcsolutions.com.au tls=on auth=on user=nore...@ipcsolutions.com.au from=3...@ipcsolutions.com.au recipients=r...@ipcsolutions.com.au smtpstatus=550 smtpmsg='550 5.7.60 SMTP; Client does not have permissions to send as this sender [SYAPR01MB2430.ausprd01.prod.outlook.com]' errormsg='the server did not accept the mail' exitcode=EX_UNAVAILABLE Sep 30 09:32:38 3999-IBCBuild-CM1 mail.info msmtpqueue: (69) msmtp: the server did not accept the mail msmtp: server message: 550 5.7.60 SMTP; Client does not have permissions to send as this sender [SYAPR01MB2430.ausprd01.prod.outlook.com] msmtp: could not send mail (account default from /etc/msmtprc) Sep 30 09:32:38 3999-IBCBuild-CM1 mail.info msmtpqueue: Failure: Keeping mail queue /var/spool/mail/2018-09-30-09.29.46-0 msmtp/mail pair.
