 |
|
Hi all,
I send admin messages from cron-based backup scripts on backuphost.domain1.tld to myself at admin@domain2.tld using mailx's mail, but since I added
| Code: |
smtpd_recipient_restrictions =
reject_invalid_hostname,
reject_unauth_pipelining,
reject_non_fqdn_hostname,
reject_non_fqdn_sender,
reject_non_fqdn_recipient,
permit_mynetworks,
permit_sasl_authenticated,
reject_unauth_destination
|
in the main.cf at domain2.tld this gets rejected by the receiving postfix at domain2.tld as the sender appears as backup@backuphost.domain1.tld, and not backup@domain1.tld.
So how do I instruct mailx to use a user-specified From: header?
Alternatively, is there any other way to send the stdout of a command I run by email in the way of doing
| Code: |
ls -l | mail -s test admin@domain2.tld
|
Many Thanks,
Kailee. |

Hi all,
it turned out that /usr/sbin/sendmail was a link to sendmail.sendmail, so it wouldn't know about setting the $myorigin in postfix' main.cf.... After making sure sendmail was the one that somes with postfix, and setting $myorigin to domain1.tld all was hunkydory..
Cheers,
Kai. |
