Thanks for the reply Simon
A quick rundown of the topology.
I have a machine called gateway set up with SOGo on it using postfix as
the MDA / MTA. Mutt is on the same machine mainly for testing so I can
be sure they are both using the localhost service. Evolution is also set
up to use the gateway as the smtp server. I feel reasonably confident
that it's not an issue with the smtp server, but rather the interaction
between SOGo and the LDAP server.
I had it configured in a similar way with SOGo 1.3 and ClearOS 5.2,
although the clearMailAliases didn't exist then, I had to make do with
putting them in the street field which worked ok.
You don't mention it in your reply so forgive me for asking. Are your
email aliases stored in an LDAP server too? and which version of SOGo
are you running?
I've checked the LDAP server using jxplorer and the aliases are being
stored fine. After a little more testing, the mangled from addresses
seem to be being generated from the CNFieldName field, so where I have
cn=Name Surname I get FROM: Name@fqdn, Surname@fqdn
where I have cn=Name M. Surname I end up with FROM: Name@fqdn,
M.Surname@fqdn
I hope this clarifies the issue somewhat.

Hi.
I've set up SOGo 2.0.1 on ClearOS 6.3 (based on RHEL6.3) using the
instructions found here
http://www.clearfoundation.com/component/option,com_kunena/Itemid,232/catid,40/func,view/id,45488/#45488
Those instructions say nothing about how you've setup your mail server(s).
It all works fine apart from when I try to send mail using aliases with
periods (full stops) in like this
e.g. one.two@fqdn or a.b.cee@fqdn
I end up with two addresses in the FROM field like
one@fqdn, o.two@fqdn
The aliases are provided from LDAP as per the link. (see the line
MailFieldNames=(clearMailAliases,mail) ) I can send mail from other
clients (mutt evolution) without the mangling happening so I'm pretty
sure it's the webmail part of SOGo that isn't happy. Can you help?
Almost all of my email users and some aliases have a dot in their
address: firstname.surn...@example.net
How are mutt and Evolution configured to send mail? Perhaps ClearOS is
configured to use clearMailAliases in the LDAP server for email aliases.
However, that does change the way SOGo sends email: it looks like you've
configured SOGo to send via SMTP on the localhost. That maybe where your
problem is.
HTH,
Simon
