asked on

postfix outbound mail formatted incorrectly: to=<a1.co.za@a1.co.za>

Say, the TO address is coming out wromh:

to=<a1.co.za@a1.co.za>

How can I solve this?

Ok lets make a simple test.

send a mail from root to root

echo hello |mail -s Test root@a1telecoms.co.za

Now check root's mail by using the mutt of mail or any mail program and check the name it should be correct, if it is so , then the problem is with your virtual aliases, but lets make sure first
Tx 4 the info. I've had to send mail by login into my mail server with the method below and this has solved the issue temporarily.
However can you perhaps help explain how to setup postfix to work with my isp's mailserver without having to login into them.
Is there an smtp that I can use to send the mail and how can I setup postfix correctly?
Can Only reply in 10 days  due to festivities - sorry.
