Greetings,
### Description ###
I'm trying to set up Mailman with Postfix with a simple join/leave form that could be easily integratable into a webpage template.
Mailman accepts email requests like
mailinglist-join@server.com, and sends a confirmation to that email.
I set up a php script to automate the process a little bit, so a user fills out the form and the script sends the email to
mailinglist-join@server.com from the filled out email address. Mailman will send the confirmation email to that address.
PHP Code:
$mailto = "mailinglist-join@server.com";
mail($mailto, $mailsubject, $message, "From: $email\nX-Mailer: PHP/".$phpversion, "-f $email");
### Problem ###
The script works from the local computer, but when I try to send run it from our testing server, the email bounces with this error:
Code:
This is the Postfix program at host kfaserver1.net.

I tried this on another machine, and the email just got lost.
Curious thing is that if I try to send the join-request email from a normal email client, it works.
Any ideas?
Maybe Postfix somehow can't resolve the mail server of the machine that runs the php script and automatically assumes that it's spam?
Thanks.
