I'm not sure who to direct this to, so I'm posting here.

I noticed in my mail server logs that the forums are sending email with
an envelope sender in a non-existent domain, causing rejects:

Jul 14 00:11:54 glacier postfix/smtpd[29833]: NOQUEUE: reject: RCPT
from forums.slimdevices.com[74.201.85.73]: 450 4.1.8
<[EMAIL PROTECTED]>: Sender address rejected: Domain
not found; from=<[EMAIL PROTECTED]> to=<[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
proto=ESMTP helo=<lists.slimdevices.com>

$ host web.slimdevices.com
web.slimdevices.com has address 207.7.156.2
$ host forums.web.slimdevices.com
Host forums.web.slimdevices.com not found: 3(NXDOMAIN)

Many mail servers are configured to reject mail when the sender
envelope has a domain part that doesn't exist, as this makes email not
bounce-able.

Someone should either create a forums.web.slimdevices.com A record in
DNS or canonicalize the envelope sender address to a valid domain.

It may be that this is just a temporary DNS problem with slim's DNS
servers, or this could be a misconfiguration.  Either way, mail's gonna
bounce until its resolved.
