Hi,
Since kmail (kde2) looked to me to be a good client I changed the email
client of my broth and sist to kmail dumping sylpheed.
Now the problem started. I have mentioned in the email address and reply to
address field [EMAIL PROTECTED]
If I send a mail to say [EMAIL PROTECTED] then in the sent mail box of
kmail I can see the from address as [EMAIL PROTECTED], but while sending mail
sendmail puts there somehow [EMAIL PROTECTED] which is the local email id.
As a result all the mails from this login are bounced back with the
following :
----- The following addresses had permanent fatal errors -----
[EMAIL PROTECTED]
(reason: 501 <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>... Sender domain must exist)
----- Transcript of session follows -----
... while talking to mailsvr.goatelecom.com:
>>> MAIL From:<[EMAIL PROTECTED]> SIZE=37
<<< 501 <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>... Sender domain must exist
501 5.6.0 [EMAIL PROTECTED] Data format error
The error is correct. But how is that From address becomes
[EMAIL PROTECTED] when Kmail sends it as [EMAIL PROTECTED] ?
Prv. versions of Kmail were sending the From address exactly as specified
in the Kmail configuration.
/var/log/mail.log shows the following :
