Re: 553 ORCPT address syntax error

[Thomas Bohl]

In /etc/mail/aliases I used to say
  root: sys...@example.com 


Your /etc/aliases must look like:

root: sys...@example.com


And that’s what I used if you read my mail correctly.


The plane text version of your mail has exactly the quoted line.

Your /etc/aliases must look like:

root: sys...@example.com

>From man page:

 user-part@domain-part
 An email address in RFC 5322 format.  If an address extension is
 appended to the user-part, it is first compared for an exact
 match.  It is then stripped so that an address such as
 user+...@example.com will only use the part that precedes `+' as
 a key.

553 ORCPT address syntax error

[Tony Boston]

Hi,

I have an issue with forwarding mails which belong to the local root user.
I never had that and it seems something changed in opensmtpd?

In /etc/mail/aliases I used to say 
  root: sys...@example.com 

This always worked but stopped working and the following error pops up in the 
logs:
smtp failed-command command="RCPT TO: ORCPT=rfc822;root" 
result="553 ORCPT address syntax error”

It actually does work when I try something like ‘echo Test | mail 
sys...@example.com’ BUT 'echo Test | mail root’ does not

Am I missing something?
