Outgoing Mails --> Domain

[Sush]

hi,

I want to use scalix with my external mail provider.
I've installed scalix on a small linux box with the domain
scalix.mydomain.tld and use fetchmail to fetch the mails from my
external provider mydomain.tld .

Outgoing mails have the sender address user@scalix.mydomain.tld ,
but it should be user@mydomain.tld .

How can change this behaviour?


thanks so far
Sascha

Scalix by itself will always use the first address configured for the user as it's outgoing address. For newly created users, it will use the default address generation domain configured during Scalix installation or later modified in SAC.

If you need to use different internal addresses and external addresses, these will have to be mapped, at best on the gateway.

However, for your case it looks like you will just need to modify your Scalix account's email addresses.

During Installation I used
sxconfig --set -t orniasys.name_part_1='"C" <G.S>' -t orniasys.domain_part_1='mydomain.tld'
as internet generation rule and changed it later in sac to vor.nach@mydomain.tld .
Do I have to modify another setting?

Thanks,
Sascha

well, if you look at your user, what email address does it show in SAC?

if this is correct, then most likely your MTA (sendmail) is setup to do masquerading, i.e. masquerade everything that comes from local as @your.host.name

As you've obviously been using a manual install, may I assume you're running this on debian? In that case you'll probably have to modify debian's sendmail config....

All Mails are set to "First Last" <First.Last@mydomain.tld> in SAC
I did a manual install on Ubuntu 6.06.

then it will most likely be your sendmail masquerading. Look out for the DM option or MASQUERADE options ins sendmail.cf and sendmail.mc. I don't have a Ubuntu system at hand right now, so I can't really give you any advice on what to change and where...

Cheers,

Can't find anything like
"DMservername.hostname.org" in sendmail.mc/.cf .
Would be okay if uploaded both files?


Sascha

[florian]

it could also be that unix user scalix is not setup to be a "trusted" user so that he can set the sender address (trusted-users file).

This is really a sendmail debugging excercise which i would like to defer to some other space. are you using scalix 10 or scalix 11?

Florian.

[Sush]

User scalix is listed in /etc/mail/trusted-users .
Version of Scalix is 10.

can you add the -X <filename> option to the sendmail command line /var/opt/scalix/sys/unix.mapper? This will actually record the SMTP conversation to the logfile given. If Scalix outputs the correct FROM address, you will need to look through your sendmail config as this issue is then really outside of Scalix.

Okay, here is the log file:

So as you can see, Scalix hands over the data correctly (1st part), then sendmail mixes it up (2nd part).

This works correctly in our fully-supported platforms and their default configuration (redhat, suse, etc.); therefore this must be some oddity with Ubuntu's default sendmail setup.
