 Posted: Fri Feb 16, 2007 12:35 am Post subject: [solved] ssmtp not sending mail correctly, sendmail is |
 |
|
I have a vbulletin server running on a gentoo server, and I had ssmtp installed (the webserver is lighttpd). Anytime an email originating from that forum was received it would be received as:
(I have removed the actual domain name in the email address for security)
"added by portage for lighttpd" lighttpd@forum.domain.tld"
If I removed ssmtp and emerged sendmail, all mail was correctly received as:
"Forum Admin ceo@forum.domain.tld"
Which reflects the correct vbulletin settings.
I made sure the sendmail_path was set for php.ini, this had no effect, I also made sure the symlink for /usr/sbin/sendmail was correct, to the ssmtp binary. No steps I took resolved this issue.
ssmtp.conf
| Code: |
#
# /etc/ssmtp.conf -- a config file for sSMTP sendmail.
#
# The person who gets all mail for userids < 1000
# Make this empty to disable rewriting.
root=foo@bar.com
# The place where the mail goes. The actual machine name is required
# no MX records are consulted. Commonly mailhosts are named mail.domain.com
# The example will fit if you are in domain.com and your mailhub is so named.
mailhub=mail
# Example for SMTP port number 2525
# mailhub=mail.your.domain:2525
# Example for SMTP port number 25 (Standard/RFC)
# mailhub=mail.your.domain
# Example for SSL encrypted connection
# mailhub=mail.your.domain:465
# Where will the mail seem to come from?
rewriteDomain=
# The full hostname
# Gentoo bug #47562
# Commenting the following line will force ssmtp to figure
# out the hostname itself.
# hostname=
# Set this to never rewrite the "From:" line (unless not given) and to
# use that address in the "from line" of the envelope.
#FromLineOverride=YES
# Use SSL/TLS to send secure messages to server.
#UseTLS=YES
# Use SSL/TLS certificate to authenticate against smtp host.
#UseTLSCert=YES
# Use this RSA certificate.
#TLSCert=/etc/ssl/certs/ssmtp.pem

Anybody know why this is?
Thanks,
Michael

The "added by portage for lighttpd" comes from the /etc/passwd entry for the lighttpd user. Maybe the fullname entry but I'm not sure which field. You could just look for the offending entry in /etc/passwd to change it.
Changing it with ssmtp should be doable. I can't say which ssmtp option for sure, but try to change
/etc/ssmtp/revaliases
| Quote: |
# sSMTP aliases
#
# Format: local_account:outgoing_address:mailhub
|
or
/etc/ssmtp.conf
| Quote: |
# Set this to never rewrite the "From:" line (unless not given) and to
# use that address in the "from line" of the envelope.
FromLineOverride=YES
