is rumored to have said:
Hi all,
I'm sure a simple question - where do you configure the address used
in the SMTP "MAIL FROM" command when bounce messages are generated?
You do not.
In my setup, bounce messages are being rejected because the MAIL FROM
at SMTP time is empty.
A mail system that rejects "MAIL FROM:<>" is not speaking standard SMTP.
Thanks Bill & Jeremy for your responses - that all makes sense and is clear.
My specific issue is that I'm experimenting with a small setup on AWS
(Lightsail), and all outgoing email has to go via Amazon SES; it is SES
which is rejecting the bounce messages.
I'm wondering therefore if anyone has experience in this particular
situation which they might share (besides the obvious advice of "Don't
put a mail server on Lightsail" :-) ). I can live with sending bounce
emails to a specific local address, rather than back to the original
sender of the email.... will explore that too.
Thanks,
Ray.
