Weird "from" address in Postfix sent mails

Hello,

I just installed another WebMin+VirtualMin server on a Debian 5.0 x64 machine using the now famous “install.sh” :slight_smile: Like my past experiences, smooth install !

My client just have a problem sending mail from his domains : the mail leaves the server but the “from” header is weird: “user.domain@localhost” instead of classical “user@domain.tld”. So, if the destination host do a verification on the address, the message is bounced with this error : “550-Verification failed for user.domain@localhost / 550-Unrouteable address / 550 Sender verify failed (in reply to RCPT TO command)”. If the destination host doesn’t do verification, the mail is delivered.

I compared the configuration with another server I set up few month ago (but without this weird behavior) : identical.

So, I am here to ask for some advices. I tried one found on this forum ( http://www.virtualmin.com/node/11246) with no luck.

hostname :

sd-XXXXX

/etc/hosts :

[code]127.0.0.1 localhost
88.191.73.169 sd-XXXXX

The following lines are desirable for IPv6 capable hosts

::1 localhost ip6-localhost ip6-loopback[/code]
/etc/postfix/main.cf :

[code]# See /usr/share/postfix/main.cf.dist for a commented, more complete version

Debian specific: Specifying a file name will cause the first

line of that file to be used as the name. The Debian default

is /etc/mailname.

#myorigin = /etc/mailname

smtpd_banner = $myhostname ESMTP $mail_name (Debian/GNU)
biff = no

appending .domain is the MUA’s job.

append_dot_mydomain = no

Uncomment the next line to generate “delayed mail” warnings

#delay_warning_time = 4h

readme_directory = no

TLS parameters

smtpd_tls_cert_file=/etc/ssl/certs/ssl-cert-snakeoil.pem
smtpd_tls_key_file=/etc/ssl/private/ssl-cert-snakeoil.key
smtpd_use_tls=yes
smtpd_tls_session_cache_database = btree:${data_directory}/smtpd_scache
smtp_tls_session_cache_database = btree:${data_directory}/smtp_scache

See /usr/share/doc/postfix/TLS_README.gz in the postfix-doc package for

information on enabling SSL in the smtp client.

myhostname = sd-XXXXX.dedibox.fr
alias_maps = hash:/etc/aliases
alias_database = hash:/etc/aliases
mydestination = localhost, sd-XXXXX.dedibox.fr, localhost.dedibox.fr, localhost
mynetworks = 127.0.0.0/8 [::ffff:127.0.0.0]/104 [::1]/128
mailbox_command = /usr/bin/procmail-wrapper -o -a $DOMAIN -d $LOGNAME
mailbox_size_limit = 0
recipient_delimiter = +
virtual_alias_maps = hash:/etc/postfix/virtual

[/code]

Thanks for your help and your time,

Tristan

Make sure that in /etc/host, the full hostname is listed there:

88.191.73.169 sd-XXXXX.dedibox.fr sd-XXXXX
