as some of you know from my earlier posts, I am fairly new to slackware.

I am working hard to remove all possible logons for the guy that was last fired from this job, but may not have them all yet...

I have a new issue though...

Apparently, one of the users on the system has had their domain edited.

now instead of being "user@domain.com"
it is "user@domiann.com"

I need to know how to go about changing the domain back to the correct spelling???

In what context does the misspelled domain name appear?

netconfig as root will change host & domain

Ser Olmy,

Just a letter was taken out of the domain name.

Slackass,

Ok, what is the script for that...I have tried some forms of edit, but get that there is no reference

I meant, where and under which circumstances do you see this? Is it the login name, the reply address when the user sends e-mails etc.

For the entire system, yes. The OP mentions a single user on a system.

it is a single user.

when I run /var/log/maillog I can see a repeating error with only one user, "username@misspelledDomain.com does not exist"

Since it's the domain name rather than the user name that's misspelt, this is unlikely to be an incoming e-mail from the outside (the Internet). I mean, how would mails for a non-existing domain name end up being delivered to your server in the first place?

My guess is that the mails originate either from the system itself or from a local user with a misspelt address in his or her address book, or this could be the result of the expansion of a mailing list with a misspelt address as a member.

Could you post the entire line from /var/log/maillog?

Here is the line...obviously, I still have to change domain name

May 17 14:11:46 Mailserver sm-mta[18619]: q4GKBgoA018619: from =<calendar@misspelledDomain.com>, size=0, class=0, nrcpts=0 proto=ESMTP, daemon=MTA, relay=64.91.117.178. stat.centurytel.net [64.91.117.178]

I don't see an error message in that line. It says "from = <calendar@wrongdomain.com>", not "to", indicating a configuration error on the mail client.

Can you see the origin of this connection in the preceeding or following log lines? An IP address or host name, perhaps?

oh yeah, sorry:

May 17 14:11:43 mailServer sm-mta[18619]: q4GKBGo9018619: ruleset=check_mail, arg1=<calendar@misspelledDomain.com>, relay=64-91-117-178.stat.centurytel.net [64.91.117.178], reject=553 5.1.8 <calendar@misspelledDomain.com>... Domain of sender address calendar@misspelledDomain.com does not exist

The mail is being rejected by the server (either your server or the upstream relay), as the domain name of the "from" address is invalid.

The message being rejected is an outgoing message from someone (or something) with "calendar" as their e-mail address. If this is a regular user, the problem is a misconfigured mail client.

Agreed, and that is what I was thinking. How do I look at my client "calendar" and ensure that it isn't in there?
It just started with this a few days ago, and I don't believe that I have done anything in slackware to have caused it, but I wanted to check.

It seems to me that if I had done something, it would have affected everyone on my mail server.

Since I don't know anything about this user and how he/she/it is accessing mail, I can't be very specific about troubleshooting the client setup.

However, this will search through the configuration files in /etc and all subdirectories for the misspelt domain name:
If "calendar" has a home folder, you may repeat the search there:
If you can't find any references to the domain name in either directory structure, it's fairly safe to conclude that the problem is not caused by anything on your server.
