sender name from /etc/passwd
Hello, I've tried to migrate some 90 servers from Sendmail to Postfix, trying to keep the behavior as similar as possible. They were all simple null clients, sending mail via relayhost only. After some time I've noticed that some servers are sending their daily logwatch outputs with From: r...@n2rhps88.localdomain r...@n2rhps88.localdomain , while others have From: Root n2rhps23 PGRLF u...@o2bs.com .

Re: timeout after CONNECT

The user is complaining that he is not able to send out any e-mail. Other users from the same system are sending mail happily without errors. User claims to use MS Outlook client. He was trying to send an e-mail with about 500 recipients in one mail (no comment) but he says before it was processed without problems. Now he claims to have only one outgoing email in his Outbox (others including one with 500 recipients was removed). I do not really understand why Outlook makes so many SMTP connections to send out a single mail. Of course I recommended to check for viruses or spambots on his computer - client computer seems to be clean. I am guessing this is a client problem, but may be there is something I am missing in my postfix config. If you have any idea, please let me know. Stop all Outlook instances on the client computer and check if the computer is still making SMTP connections. If so then a virus or a spambot is likely to be installed.

That's strange. It seems like logwatch invokes 'sendmail -t' and creates
headers like:
open(OUTFILE,|$Config{'mailer'}) or die Can't execute
$Config{'mailer'}: $!\n;
print OUTFILE To: $Config{'mailto'}\n;
print OUTFILE From: $Config{'mailfrom'}\n;
print OUTFILE Subject: Logwatch for $Config{'hostname'} (${OStitle})\n;
, when $Config{'mailfrom'} is 'root' and $Config{'mailer'} is 'sendmail
-t'. Anybody knows what could make the final substitution, then?

RBL problem?
Recently, I've noticed a lot more spam. In checking the logs I find that zen.spamhaus.org has really lost ground in terms of rejections. I use zen and bl.spamcop.net.

Postfix does not rewrite the From: header if it is already present.
To get the default From: header, don't supply one at all.

Re: Listing relay_domains in a file
Thanks for the replies, Wietse and Victor. Victor Duchovni wrote: Would /file/name contain one domain per line? And would changes require postfix reload? Yes, and yes. If you use an indexed table (cdb, hash, btree, ...) instead, the reload is not required, the trivial-rewrite service in reasonably recent Postfix releases will detect the change within ~10 seconds. So far, I have only used indexed tables with entry pairs like something something_else I understand that I could simply postmap a file with one domain per line, correct? Regards, wolfgang

How are you guys getting those stats on the blocks?

Not quite, you need a dummy value for each lookup key: example.com is a relay domain example.org is a relay domain the lookup value is ignored, but must be present. -- Viktor. P.S.

postmulti: inet_interfaces for each instance ?
Dear I would like to implement multiple instances on my 2.7 postfix. After read the documentation (perhaps my english is very poor) i need to have a confirmation. did i need to disable master_service_disable and specify an IP address for each instance in inet_interfaces token ? Or Is there a kind of hub that listen a single IP and is in charge of routing mails to the right instance ? If yes how to specify this hub ? Is the main postfix process /etc/postfix is able to be the hub ? Best regards.

Daniel Morgan put forth on 2/26/2010 12:04 AM: myhostname = apac3.apac.org.ni In DNS: apac3.apac.org.ni = 165.98.119.11 BUT 165.98.119.11 != apac3.apac.org.ni 165.98.119.11 == pppleon11.ibw.com.ni. Post the rejected transaction(s) from your logs please. It's likely they are rejecting your mail due to the presence of ppp in the rDNS name, which typically indicates consumer broadband IP space. I block smtp connections based on such rDNS names myself, as do many admins. If you are sending mail from dynamic IP consumer space, I recommend reading this document: http://www.hardwarefreak.com/postfix-adsl-relay-config.txt -- Stan
