[SOLVED] Postfix - can't send e-mail

[grzech1991]

Hi

I have a problem, after running postfix, emails are sending but with an error

<g.abc@abc.pl>: host xyz.nazwa.pl[1.2.3.4] said: 553
5.7.1 <root@node2.pve>: Sender address rejected: not owned by user
it@xyz.nazwa.pl (in reply to RCPT TO command)

echo "Test mail from postfix" | mail -s "Test Postfix" g.abc@abc.pl

As I use the command:

echo "test mail from proxmox" | mail -r it@abc.pl -s test g.abc@abc.pl

works without any problem

This means that the mail recipient is rejecting your email, because it can't verify it's origin, which is a very common behavior.
If it@abc.pl works for you, you can set that as the sender address at Datacenter > Options > E-Mail from address

if i use mail for notification about backup



it's ok, but after this command:

echo "Test mail from postfix" | mail -s "Test Postfix" destination@destination.pl

Still don't work.

Proxmox just sets this value for itself, not for the whole system. If you want to have a custom from address for the mail command by default, you can set that in ~/.mailrc like so set from=foo@bar.baz. Note that this in turn doesn't affect PVE.

A better way to set the from address system wide would be to rename your node by changing it's hostname, but that has it's own pitfals [0].
The simpler method for now would be to set /etc/mailname [1]. Just set it to the domain part of the sender address you want to use.
