vzdump notification email filtered/rejected

[ion-ral]

very often happens that the mail servers (google, tiscali, yahoo) block emails coming from Proxmox because are like "root@client.com" and of course the filters do not accept the remote server address or domain that is not verified.

In other situations I could use "nail" which allows me to specify the address of the sender, and also the smtp server for sending.
There would be no way to modify the command vzdump to have a feature such as "nail"?

Simply configure postfix to use the correct mail relay (smarthost).

Edit /etc/postfix/main.cf, and add or edit this line:
relayhost = your.server.com

email address for FROM?? otherwise it sends emails from root@...

email address for FROM?? otherwise it sends emails from root@...

What is the problem with that? (you need to configure your relayhost to accept your domain).

I use a dsl smarthost, I can't modify anything...

An that smarthost rejects the mails from your IP/Domain??

Anyway, your provider should have a howto (howto configure postfix for that smarthost).

I don't know exactly...
But, If I use "nail" instead of "mail" declare the "from" address I solve the problem
