Forum's mailout configuration error

[sgofferj]

Hi,

since the name change I'm not getting emails from the forum anymore and I think, I just figured out why. I found this in my mailserver log:

Code: Select all

Oct 28 18:26:53 k-tanco postfix/smtpd[26396]: connect from web.openrcforums.com[212.59.77.26]
Oct 28 18:26:53 k-tanco postfix/smtpd[26396]: NOQUEUE: reject: RCPT from web.openrcforums.com[212.59.77.26]: 450 4.1.8 <[email protected]>: Sender address rejected: Domain not found; from=<[email protected]> to=<[email protected]> proto=ESMTP helo=<web.openrcforums.com>
Oct 28 18:26:56 k-tanco postfix/smtpd[26396]: disconnect from web.openrcforums.com[212.59.77.26]

Let's see, what's the problem... Is it the mailout itself?

Code: Select all

root@k-tanco:~> host web.openrcforums.com
web.openrcforums.com has address 212.59.77.26

Nope, mailout is ok. How about the sender address?

Code: Select all

root@k-tanco:~> host web.openrcforums.com
Host web.openrcforums.com not found: 3(NXDOMAIN)

Hmmm... somebody forgot a DNS-entry

Mails arrive fine here.

Curious. It should not actually make any difference.

Is your mail server rejecting mails that do not have a specific host name?

I have added that record - let me know if it works out for you now!

I just got email notifications from 5 days ago. So something you did made a difference. My email adddress is handled by 1and1 then forwarded to gmail

not sure where it sat for 5 days

Is your mail server rejecting mails that do not have a specific host name?

Nope, but it's rejecting sender addresses from a nonexistent domain, which is pretty much default config in postfix.
Works now .
