Sendmail & qmail conflict?

bulzbb · 03-15-2004, 08:29 AM

Hi,

This is the scenario:
- I've virtusertable which map user1.name@domain.com to user1
- In my outlook, i put my email address as user1.name@host1.domain1.com
- My server is host1.domain1.com

When I tried to send email to hotmail and some other email of other ISP, it works fine. Others will receive my email, and see the address of user1.name@domain.com (and they can write to this address too).

But when I try to email (which I believe using qmail) to user2@ii.net , the server of that provider replied my email:

-----START ERROR-----
The original message was received at Mon, 15 Mar 2004 21:08:37 +0800
from host1.domain1.com [270.136.245.156] (may be forged)

----- The following addresses had permanent fatal errors -----
<user2@ii.net>
(reason: 553 sorry, your envelope sender domain must exist (#5.7.1))

----- Transcript of session follows -----
... while talking to mail.iinet.net.au.:
>>> MAIL From:<user1.name@domain1.com>
<<< 553 sorry, your envelope sender domain must exist (#5.7.1)
501 5.6.0 Data format error
-----END ERROR-----

However, if I do change my email address (in outlook express) from user1.name@domain.com to user1.name@host1.domain.com , it works fine, iinet will deliver the email.

Another thing is when try to send email from user2@ii.net to user1.name@host1.domain1.com, i got this error:

-----START ERROR-----
Hi. This is the qmail-send program at mail.iinet.net.au.
I'm afraid I wasn't able to deliver your message to the following addresses. This is a permanent error; I've given up. Sorry it didn't work out.

<user1.name@host1.domain1.com>:
270.136.245.156 does not like recipient.
Remote host said: 550 5.1.1 <user1.name@host1.domain1.com>... User unknown Giving up on 270.136.245.156.
-----END ERROR-----

And if I try to send email from user2@ii.net to user1.name@domain1.com (note: there is no host1 in the email address), i got this error:

-----START ERROR-----

<user1.name@domain1.com>:
Sorry, I couldn't find any host named domain1.com. (#5.1.2)
-----END ERROR-----

Anyone have any idea what went wrong there? I just wondered why it works with other, but not with the email of this provider (iinet.net.au). Or is there a conflict between the 2 MTA, and I need to do extra configuration?

Thanks a bunch for reading such a long post!!

Oh, and I forgot. I'm on Slackware 9.1, sendmail 8.12.10.

Some time ago I wrote some documentation which explained this issue and how to fix it on sendmail. See if it helps!

I fixed the problem, by mapping domain1.com to the IP (same IP used for host1.domain1.com). But that document is surely something!! Thanks for pointing it out!
