Re: [PHP] postfix with PHP on Mac OS X

[Brent Baisley]

One way to reduce the amount of spam your server receives is to have it 
validate the domain of the sender. In this case, the mail server tried 
to lookup the domain rahul.local, which of course doesn't exist, so 
your mail was rejected. Read up on the mail() command, specifically the 
additional headers where you can specify the MAIL FROM.

One thing that helped me in understanding how the mail process worked  
was to walk through it manually from the terminal. It's ridiculously 
simple what goes on in transferring a message to another mail server. 
Which explains why some viruses have there own mail servers built-in.

I tried using the "mail" command at the Terminal Window.... In fact it 
did
have all my sent messages recorded there, but they are all giving an
error... Which is something like this:

__________
Content-Description: Delivery error report
Content-Type: message/delivery-status
Reporting-MTA: dns; rahul.local
Arrival-Date: Thu, 22 Jul 2004 16:39:14 -0400 (EDT)
Final-Recipient: rfc822; [EMAIL PROTECTED]
Action: failed
Status: 5.0.0
Diagnostic-Code: X-Postfix; host nymx-1.nyroc.rr.com[24.92.226.31] 
said: 553
    5.1.8 <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>... Domain of sender address 
[EMAIL PROTECTED] does
    not exist (in reply to MAIL FROM command)
__________

And then the content of the Email follows.
The name of my server (localhost) is "rahul.local"
I'm not sure what this error is trying to tell me...
Any help will be greatly appreciated.
Thanks,
