PBS do not seems to use the email from address

[Zappy]

Like the title said,
PBS do not seems to use the email from address state in the UI.
instead seems to use root@<hostname-fqdn>

Anyway to fix that
all email notification getting reject
thanks

works here, i changed the from address under 'Configuration -> Other' and the next email i got was from that address...
which e-mails are we talking about specifically?

 

[dcsapak]

also the version would be interesting:

proxmox-backup-manager versions --verbose

This morning i receive a mail for GC
I think the mail i still seeing in the log rejected are the mail from spool before i change the from address
do not seems to have easy way to test like in pve. (or i am not aware)

what does the log say? (/var/log/mail.log)

 

[Zappy]

The log of PBS do not show any reject, since the relais accept them all
but i can clearly see (obviously edited)

Mar 30 12:13:14 pbs postfix/qmgr[134463]: 5443A2040C: from=<root@HOSTNAME-FQDN>, size=1980, nrcpt=1 (queue active)

the log of my SMTP is the one showing the reject with a

Sender verify failed

the FQDN of my pbs is internal DNS

Edit : i can see the log from the mail from this morning with the address i enter in the UI

Hi, i'm facing a similar issue, but only for the emails generated from the PBS (i.e. verification of datastore).
I can't find the same option I've on PVE (Datacenter > Option > Email from address) as you told in this post, message #2.

If i go into the Configuration tab I only have 2 pages, which are Network/Time or Authentication, and there I don't have any similar option.
Here's the output of my PBS verbose version:

I am experiencing the same issues.
Email from is set to pbs@domain.tld under Configuration>Other>Email from address but log shows email from as root@pbs.domain.tld

Here's the output from proxmox-backup-manager versions --verbose:

Note: On PVE changing the above setting worked perfectly fine while on PBS it does not.
