My local-mail delivery system got borked....
I'm using postfix and then send my mails via gmx-smtp. However, gmx seems to refuse my mails atm. I get an error-message:

Sep 26 14:23:49 Metis postfix/smtp[27502]: 42D332B0D3B: to=<xxxx@gmx.ch>, relay=mail.gmx.net[213.165.64.20], delay=2, status=bounced (host mail.gmx.net[213.165.64.20] said: 550 5.1.7 {mp026} This server does not accept an empty envelope from (in reply to MAIL FROM command))
Sep 26 14:23:49 Metis postfix/qmgr[9762]: 42D332B0D3B: removed

What can I do about this?
Thanks

It seems your postfix doesn't fill in "FROM:" field.
Also you might check $myhostname $mydomain settings. What is in /etc/dnsdomainname?
Check again what postconf -n says.

That's what I have atm:

mydomain = home
myhostname = metis.home

Seems to be correct...

benjamin@Metis ~ $ cat /etc/domainname
home

Seems to be correct as well....

It seems gmx.net rejects mail without fqdn. You need to get some valid domainname pointing at you e.g. free account at noip.com and change your /etc/dnsdomainname or write it right in postfix main.cf.
