Hello everyone, I have a problem with email alerts from Proxmox.
I tried to work according to several guides none of which helped / worked.
Everyone gives the same instructions, I worked mostly according to this guide: https://forum.proxmox.com/threads/get-postfix-to-send-notifications-email-externally.59940/
And it doesn't work for me.
First of all I have to change that "From" from root@pve to user@mydomain And even after I added the smtp_header_checks as they say it didn׳t change it
I'm not sending email through Gmail. I use my own domain, and it's working fine. So this is something in the Proxmox settings.
I look at logs in /var/log/mail.info and I see that it sends via root@pve.localdomain and no matter what I do it doesn't changes it .
I tried to configure via ssmtp instead of via postfix and then everything worked through using the mail -s command but when I tried to use
Code:
 echo "test" | /usr/bin/pvemailforward
I had an error ....
Code:
sendmail: RCPT TO:<tosent@gmail.com> (553 5.7.1 <root@pve>: Sender address rejected: not owned by user user@mydomain)
If it is possible to just fix the problem with ssmtp then it would be best because it works there much better than postfix.

What to do? I worked exactly according to guide instructions.
 
Anyone know how to solve this? Email alerts are something important so if anyone knows I would love to resolve this as soon as possible.
